Job Search Apps

My husband loves gadgets and the Android phone has enough apps in it to keep him happy. This morning he was showing me an application where he could scan the bar code from a Skippy Peanut Butter jar and find the various stores that stock it as well as the prices from these stores. I asked him if he would look up the apps for the term “Job Search” and sure enough, he got a screen full of job search engines and career assessment sites. From our quick scan, it looked like many of them were free, too.

Since I don’t have an Android I Googled the words “Android, apps, job search” on my computer and received pages of articles and suggested job search engines. There are customer reviews too. It seems as if Indeed.com is a good application for the Android although it doesn’t have the advanced features that the web option does.

There are apps for the iphone and Blackberry. Here are a few selections - some are free and some come with a fee.
1. iPhone: A listing of job seach apps are in the article from About.com.
2. Android: This includes the popular Linkup app.
3. Blackberry: This site lists some of the popular job search apps.

By the way, Yahoo just jumped into the water with Yahoo Apps. There us a link for it on your Yahoo navigation bar.

If you use mobile apps for job search, how is it working for for? Have you found a job?
