High school student creates job search app for high schoolers

While some teens are fiddling through apps on their phone, one Georgia girl is making her own.

Isabel Hoyla, a sophomore at Kell High School in Marietta, created The Breeze. It’s an app that makes the job search easier for teenagers thanks to its time, salary rate, location and interest filters.

Hoyla invented the platform as a part of an assignment for her marketing principles class taught by Michael Chasteen.

“I thought her idea was a homerun, and we submitted her idea as a part of the Verizon Learning App Challenge,” Chasteen said.

She not only aced the project, but she also won the contest, snagging $5,000 for her school and a mobile tablet for herself. She even has the opportunity to make her invention a reality.

Take a look at Hoyla’s app below.
