At one time, people had to pound the pavement to find jobs. Now, you can sit back with your mobile phone and let applications do a lot of the work for you. You simply need to download some apps that will help you find the job of your dreams.
Here are 6 that are great to try:
iPQ Career Planner
When you first set out on the job hunt, you might not even know what your dream job is. That’s why you need the iPQ Career Planner. Use the planner to take the Occupational Personality Questionnaire. After completing the assessment, you can get an iPQ Career Planner report so you can find out which jobs are right for you.
Glassdoor
Once you get some job ideas, you’ll need to start looking for openings. Glassdoor has openings, as well as employee reviews and salary reports all at your fingertips. This app will give you some insight into what it is really like to work for specific companies so you can better judge what the best fit is for you.
Hidden Jobs
Use the Hidden Jobs app to find jobs before they get posted in newspapers and online. The app scours news articles to find information about companies who are expanding their operations. It also uses Google to search for job listings at the different companies. This allows you to avoid the well-trod path to jobs that have 100 highly-qualified applicants to compete with in favor of hidden gems you fit perfectly.
Salary Checker
If you’re like most people, your dream job will only be a dream if you make enough money. Salary Checker will let you check the market rate in over 20 countries so you will know if you need to relocate or stay at home for your dream job to get the best return.
Pocket Resume Pro
Finding a great listing isn’t enough. You also need a great resume in order to get called in for an interview. Pocket Resume Pro makes it easy to create and send your resume. You can use your LinkedIn profile to create the resume. Then, you can export it to PDF or RTF and send it out to potential employers.
Job Interview Questions Prep
You can’t get your dream job if you don’t make it through the interview process, which is why Job Interview Questions Prep is an essential app. This video app features Peggy McKee, the CEO of Career Confidential and a job interview coach. McKee asks and answers common interview questions to help you get prepared so you will feel calm and relaxed walking into your interview.
With organizations turning to companies like SolutionStream for web and mobile app development, the number of quality applications is on the rise. Because of that, it is easy to find your dream job from your mobile device. Just download an app and start looking from the comfort of your own home.
