How did Eric come up with the idea for Jobright.ai?

The idea for Jobright.ai was sparked during Eric Cheng's gap year, when he journeyed through various small and medium-sized cities. As he traveled, he met over 100 talented individuals struggling to access the same job opportunities available in larger cities. This personal experience revealed a gap in the job market, where skilled professionals faced barriers not due to lack of talent but because of limited access to opportunities.

Eric discussed this issue with his co-founder, Ethan Zheng, an AI expert.

Recognizing the problem and leveraging recent AI advancements, they set out to create an AI tool that acts like a personal career assistant.
