Abstract


Graduates and senior university students are filled with ambitions; they are very close to fulfilling their dreams by joining the workforce. However, finding their targeted job is a cumbersome and often tedious task. Moreover, some of those graduates lack certain necessary skills that qualify them for the labor market. Hence, they might want to overcome this problem by taking some training courses to increase their chances in securing that sought after job. Graduate Helper, is a mobile application for seeking employment opportunities in Saudi Arabia. It focuses on recent graduates in the Kingdom. The successful implementation of Graduate Helper received an appreciation from graduates, who used it for their job hunts.
