Company Project: Career page for Comprend

For your third sprint you will work with fast growing consultancy company Comprend. We will keep practicing using APIs and really stretch your React muscles.

Your challenge for this sprint is to build a new career page for Comprend using their internal career API. Comprend is currently 80 consultants with skills in digital strategy, project management, UX, visual design, development, content and research with clients like Tele2, SEB, Electrolux, Vattenfall, Skanska and many more.

On Friday the 12th you will demo for Comprend’s client Services teams, including developers, project managers, content, researchers and human resources. The demo will be followed by an after work with their whole company.

How to complete this project

Comprend’s new career page will be an integrated part of their web page and follow the provided wireframes, see assets folder. The overall look and feel of the page should be similar to Comprend´s existing.

The API

Comprend has an internal career API that they have opened for you to use. The API has several end-points which you have to combine to get all the information that you need.

You’ll reach the end-points at: http://hellotechnigo.comprendwebsites.net/

End-points:

1. Jobs. Fetches either all jobs or a specific job usin the ID of that job in the url of the request.
2. Users. To be used to fetch all team members of Comprend.
3. Departments. Fetch all departments from the API to use in job listings.
4. Text. Other texts for the page such as addresses and social media links.

How to approach this as a team

A few tips

1. Start by exploring the APIs to see which data you have and how you need to combine the end-points.
2. This is a bigger web page than you have build before, a smart thing can be to divide the task into different features and work more in smaller feature teams.
3. Start by drawing and come up with a united plan of what components and properties to use.
4. What should be stored in state and what should update state?

💥 Success!

After completing this project, you should be more comfortable using React to build web pages. You should also be comfortable in using React router for navigation and updating state on your page when fetching from an API.
