In China, over 50% of college graduates choose to enter the workforce after graduation, with 5.81 million doing so in 2022. As younger generations prioritize independence and individualism, job tenures are becoming shorter, and frequent job changes are common. However, workplace newcomers often lack experience, making them vulnerable to legal pitfalls that can harm their rights and interests.

Through continuous contact and co-creation with target users to discover key requirements, and testing the effectiveness of the functions in user testing, I was able to make a digital product that actually improves the user experience. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the "user-centered" design principle in UX design.
