who is facing this same problem?
Emails, seek, cold calling, going to offices.
sending resume, recording videos.
What the freaking hell.

these bullshit douchebags always say "oh we don't do anything in store, apply online", *goes to online, see a gazillion job applications from the same person... *apply online, *no response, went back *ahh we are looking, 1 week, 2 week, 3 week, gone. same with company one, company two, company three, and so on and so forth...

After 8 months, same job post, same everything, hadn't even been taken down !!! THE HELL YOU ARE LOOKING FOR? A FREAKING JAMES BOND TO DO YOU BURGER FLIPPING YOU ASSHOLES!

Three Hundred+ applications in roughly two months, not even a single interview? dude. from high paying top level work to the bottom pit level work, all done? at one point it feels like everybody has a specific 'you' problem that they are boycotting you for some reason.

calling in work-provider services, *yeah we are looking and then *who were you again, mister... *I uh called in a while back for x position... *ohh, we though you died so we moved on... *the hell you mean you moved on?... *we have a you problem so yeah we'll try to figure something out....

I mean wadda load of nonesense dude.

I'm creating a waitlist for living creatures from all sorts of life (Idc if you are from mars or neptune, you are welcome). I'm tryne rub my knees and ankles saving roughly 36+ hours of admin work on your shitty admin work? PLUS some other professions as well.

Regardless if you are student or plumber working even after his retirement (cz you were terrible saver) you are still welcome.

Who's wanna join? https://neurotec.io/waitlist

not talking about assignments or revision itself

i mean stuff like:

checking 3 different uni pages just to make sure nothing changed

trying to figure out which deadline is coming first

remembering if a class got rescheduled or cancelled

digging through downloads for some random file from days ago

fixing your calendar because half the dates are outdated anyway

started paying attention to this recently and honestly the amount of time people waste on this is kinda insane

some students were losing like between 30 minute to 2 hours a week just trying to stay organised and not miss things (I asked them personally and it was their response)

wanted to ask if other people deal with this too or if the people i talked to are just unorganised

if you add all that wasted time together over a whole semester, what do you think it comes out to?

edit: I'm trying to start a waitlist to see how many would want to join us. Just let me know and I'll add you.

not talking about studying or doing actual work

i mean the stuff like:

• cross checking your LMS for deadlines
• figuring out which assignment is due first across 4 subjects
• trying to remember if that tutorial got moved
• finding a PDF you downloaded 3 weeks ago
• updating your calendar that's already half wrong

i started tracking this properly a few months ago across a group of students and the numbers were actually kind of embarrassing. some people were spending close to 2-3 hours a week just on that background noise, not studying, just staying oriented.

curious if that matches anyone else's experience or if i'm looking at outliers

what does that actually cost you in a semester if you add it up?

WAITLIST HAS BEGUN ! ! ! SIGN UP NOW !

I built something for students that cuts like FREAKING (sry for language, just too excited about something, that I came up with which almost felt like a mistake)...

30-36+ hours of semester (6 months worth) admin chaos into few mins.

Not studying itself.

I mean the dumb stuff around uni:

1. timetables,
2. assignment planning,
3. deadline tracking,
4. docs everywhere,
5. calendar mess,
6. group project chaos,
7. trying to not miss important stuff for 6 straight months.

Basically turning semester survival into a system automatically.

Weird thing is almost everybody says:
"yeah this problem is horrible" (roughly 80-90% people from survey)

So now I am trying to figure out which one is true:

1. students are horrible buyers
2. the pain exists but not painful enough
3. my messaging sucks
4. I am talking to wrong students
5. this is one of those ideas that sounds boring but secretly becomes massive later

I got around 10s and 10s of responses already in a week worth of time with no marketing whatsoever but honestly that feels tiny before I go deeper or even think about investors.

Waitlist is here if anybody wants to see what I mean:

If you are student or worked in EdTech:
what actually made students pay for a tool?

Also if anybody wants to completely destroy the idea, please do it. I am not emotionally attached yet and I would rather hear brutal truth now than build useless garbage for 2 years.

So long story short, it's EdTech.

I came up that I should build something that compresses roughly 36+ hours of semester administration work under less than 10 minutes.

But the issue is, there is not enough validation around it, asked colleagues, friends, and probably some randoms. At most 60 people replied which is not enough for me to take it into consideration to pitch it to investors for pre-seed.

I have researched a lot about reaching out in public or on campus to students and here what I have evaluated:

>B2C -- where students pay directly but are considered a hard-to-get customers (at least what I've seen so far)

>B2B2C -- where you contact universities to pay for students instead, for a yearly basis (seems reasonable enough)

Are students really that hard of a customers?
If anyone is available for validation, I'd send you an email with the sources and a relevant eBook, it's free of course but would need people to let me know.

How did you actually learn to do your job before you got hired? Did any prep actually help?

did you do any simulation or practice like unpaid or paid actual day-to-day or one day operational training where you are going through stuff, etc?

how did you train for something which you had no experience of?

>SMB owners, agencies, consultants. $49--199/month or per-bid pricing. Win rate improvement is the ROI story.

Does this pain exist or I'll be wasting my time coming up with something?

PAIN

RFP response is a $10B+ industry (consultants charge $2–10K per bid). SMBs can't afford that. They either skip bids or submit weak ones. The pain is basically acute or measurable in lost revenue?

TRUST IS NON-ISSUE

Users are uploading their own business documents. No sensitive personal data. No financial credentials. Standard SaaS trust level.

COMPETITION EXISTS

Loopio, RFPIO, Responsive exist, but they target enterprise ($50K+/year). The SMB gap under $200/month is genuinely underserved.

People think using this "—" makes it chatgptish.
Actually... it does ngl.

but I've been personally using this dash for almost forever, how? I use ALT + 0151 (but from the side keypad, idk why it didn't work with numbers on top)

I've tried to apply to at least (no bragging) roughly 300+ jobs in just around 1.5 - 2.5 months.

Result? Nothing whatsoever, NOT because I can't do the work, but because the market is extremely tight.

I initially tried looking for work roughly 2 years, 2 freaking years, with no success, then I got my first, I had ADHD (didn't realise I had it), which costed me my first, when I realised I had ADHD and I need to go for the treatment, I lost my second.

The problem is soo dense currently... I tried doing my own work, build a saas, no respondants, stuck.

Any idea how someone could do something that'd get someone work? it's extremely improbable right now.

There is one hope but even for that hope to work out, I need at least 100-200 people to get me on to this thing, which is also improbable, cz I have no connections and almost nobody knows me, tried meeting people, talking to them, finding new ones, everything feels hopeless.

I tried so hard to get 100 people on something, at best of my efforts (including very very few from my family) at most I got 4-5 the rest strangers (roughly 30, total of 36 I got which is not enough).

huh....

[ Free Services ] [ NOT PROMOTING, READ THE POST FIRST ] [ AUSTRALIAN BASED PREFERED ]

I'll be blunt concise and honest.
I've been looking for connections more than ever. I want to get out of my cave.

I've a ton load of technical experience and more.

I'm offering (free almost everything except few that are extremely technical plus would require a ton of days of effort but with 10s of times of less rate):
- Technical Expertise
- Digital Expertise including graphic design and more, I can't even name how many there are, just let me know what you need.
- Ongoing support

What I need is:
- Long term reliable connection (without fees initially)
- Understanding people and networks.
- Someone I can call when I need him (I'll pay of course)

It's kind of trade where MOST win is on your end, I get less in return initially. Why Initially? If I have good connections, in 4-6-12 months if I need opportunities, I could say I worked with X Y Z.

Those X Y Z could get as much benefit from me as they need free of cost mostly (some conditions may apply after listening to specific issues and matters but extremely cheap depending on the work if the work requires (10 to multiple more times cheaper than industry standards)) but overall the idea remains.

Anyone need to reach out?

I'm trying to come up with SaaS idea that solves real problems but it's kind of hard.

I need honest opinon, WILD CARD, whatever the heck you think it is, just spill it.

Tell me about the saas idea, you'd immediately signup for and would be ready to pay if that were the case.

Hey there.
How do I get work in CommBank?

I've done most of my software engineering on my personal projects, market's tough and just loads of people.

I don't really care about pay or salary or similar, All I care about getting to work with CommBank.

I'm okay being an Intern, this is also a very good way to get to understand how commercial software systems work, going out of my own nest basically.

If there are any employees who work here, would be willing to do a referral, I'm willing to chat!

It’s fine if your answer is “go talk to users directly” or “join Discords and ask people one by one.” That’s valid.

But I’m more interested in what you think right now.

One of the student said:

>"Real talk, if I were building a SaaS for students right now, I would focus entirely on "academic logistics" rather than just another study app lol. Most students aren't struggling with the material as much as they are struggling with managing deadines, syllabus changes, and group project chaos fr. A tool that automatically syncs a syllabus from a PDF into a shared calendar with automated reminders would be a godsend haha. If you can save a student even 30 minutes of admin work a week, they will stick with the app forever. The key is making it dead simple so it doesn't feel like another "chore" to maintain. Are you thinking about a mobile-first approach or a web app?"

From your experience, what are the biggest problems in how students study today that current tools don’t solve well?

I’m exploring a system where:

• You input your study material and context
• It generates a structured study plan over a fixed time (like 7 days or more or less depending on what you chose)
• It teaches in parts (daily lectures documentation, etc)
• Continuously tests you (quizzes, MCQs, etc.) instead of passive reading
• Tracks what you understand vs what you fail
• Includes a chat that already knows your progress and mistakes

The idea is to remove planning, force active learning, and keep everything structured and not keep telling the tool "no no, I mean this or I meant that" or "you ask one word's meaning in a certain context and there's a huge list of another chat message" nothing quick and temporary on the spot.

The question is not “is this cool” but:

• Does this actually fix a real problem?
• Or are existing methods already good enough and this adds unnecessary complexity?

I need fast iteration, but without real demand this is pointless.
