BECOME.ME 4.0

The latest App update

Next time you check in to the BECOME.Me app, you should be seeing the latest version, v4.0.

What's in the new release?

• We've added a whole lot of new job descriptions and images.
• We've refined the way that search results are scored and appear.
• We've implemented a new fuzzy search that should help with creative spelling (there are so many ways to spell 'psychologist'!)

If you are using the search function inside the web app and getting unexpected results, we've put notes about search results in our Help Centre.

A reminder that the BECOME.Me app uses Bridges. A Bridge is a collection of jobs we have carefully selected to appear in response to certain keywords.

Here's the 'Sports' Bridge. It showcases the wide world of jobs within the sporting industries.

Periodically we review anonymous list of words and phrases students are searching for in the app. If we see a trend we may respond with a Bridge.

Bridges showcase diverse careers in popular career areas that are showing up in student search terms, like sport, space, gaming and popular computer games, entrepreneurship, and agriculture.

Bridges also allow us to catch and redirect provocative searches by students.

(Yes, students always test the boundaries.)

Try 'hacker' - click the Bridge to discover there are certified ethical hackers (cool!) and lots of cyber crime specialists in sleuthing and security.

Green words along the lines between the Bridge (red node) and the jobs promote deeper exploration and discussion, which is the purpose of a Bridge.

So if you see a red node, it's okay to click it. It will present careers that are appropriate for students to see, as a way to respond to popular interest, as a result of a fuzzy or 'machine-matched' search term, or to redirect a cheeky prod.
