Job seeking is much more than sending out resumes – it requires a detailed, lengthy process of filtering through listings, filling out applications, networking, preparing for interviews, and more. The process is practically a job within itself! With smartphone technology, job seekers don’t have to be tied to their computers, and can perform job-related activities on the go. Check out these eight apps all job seekers need to use to improve their job search:
Job Searching Apps:
- Good Job (Paid): Juggling all of the notes, to-dos, upcoming events, contact information, and more for job searching can be difficult. The Good Job app allows you to track all of your job search activities and record your progress all in one place.
- JobMo (Free and Paid versions): Instead of going back and forth between all of the most popular job search sites, this app enables users to access all of the sites’ listings within the app.
- Gigwalk (Free): Looking for temporary or contract work to make some money and fill in resume gaps during your job search? With Gigwalk, users can connect with employers looking for short-term gigs in their area.
Interview Apps:
- Interview Prep Questions (Free and Paid versions): When you’ve been offered an interview, rehearsing the answers to common interview questions will let you present yourself in the best light. This app contains a variety of basic interview questions and answers, so you can prep on-the-go.
- What Color is Your Parachute App (Free): this app is based on the job guide book of the same name. It contains hundreds of tips for standing out in an interview and getting the job.
Networking Apps:
- LinkedIn (Free): The most popular social media site for professional networking, LinkedIn and its accompanying app are a valuable source for staying in touch with your contacts and hearing about new job opportunities.
- CardDrop (Free): Business cards with valuable contact information can be easily misplaced. The CardDrop app allows job seekers to keep track of the business cards they collect by scanning and automatically uploading the contact information.
