Searching for Jobs Using Apps (for smartphones and tablets)<\/span>
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

\"1047_1\"<\/a>Over the last few years, smartphones and tablets have become accessible for most people. For owners of these devices they have even become an essential tool, especially after many useful applications appeared (here application means software for a mobile device<\/i>). There are thousands upon thousands of apps for all sorts of things you can imagine: for divertissement and for fun, for education and for Internet browsing, for sending emails and for reading electronic books and so forth. It is little wonder that there are some apps for searching for jobs: more than one hundred of such apps are for iPad and no less than two hundred – for iPhone. In this review I’ll examine some apps for iOS, but I\u2019m sure that similar apps also exist for Android.<\/p>\n

I will mention common points of applications before each one. I chose only free<\/b> apps offering an embedded search engine<\/b> for jobs. Obviously that I preferred multilingual apps that let searching for jobs all over the world (INALJ is an international site now!) All apps need the Internet connection (by Wi-Fi or 3G). Usually such applications offer simple user interface with simple search upon two queries: keyword(s) (job title) plus location (city, state, country, zip\/postal code, etc.). Usually, they offer some additional features if you sign in (alerts by e-mail, the possibility to save favorite jobs or to apply for job within the app, etc.). Most of the applications have search history, so you don\u2019t need to retype your request every time you use an app. Any of them have a real advanced search, but each app offers interesting options. I found them by typing in AppStore an obvious query \u2013 \u201csearch jobs\u201d. I\u2019ve downloaded more than ten apps but finally I\u2019ve examined only four of them:<\/p>\n
