Finding a job today is a challenge. You do have many sources to
consider. You could spend some time using the newspaper as they did ten
years ago. You likely have dozens of tools available online to help you
to store and send out your resume. But, what about your smartphone? Are
you using your mobile device for job applications? You could be. More
employers than ever are realizing the importance of providing this
option to incoming applicants.
Applying Onsite
Some of the
best and biggest employers are using Internet website designs to allow
them to interact properly with mobile devices. This means that can find a
job using your smartphone. You visit the company's website and it is
optimized to allow you to easily navigate it from your smartphone
device. More so, you can apply right on the site for the job. Job
applications like this do range widely but many sites are making it
work.
Third Party Apps
Many of the largest online job sites
are using tools to allow individuals to communicate with potential
applicants using a mobile device. If one of the sites you are using is
one that allows this type of feature, it may be a good idea to use it.
Find out if the job site has an app to make it easier for you to find
out what the latest job ads are and apply for them online right from
your phone. You should be able to access your resume, browse through the
current ads and to submit your application just as you would if you
were on the actual site.
Why It Matters
Why should you be
using a mobile device to find a job? Today, there are dozens if not
thousands of people applying for the same position. If you do not act
quickly, chances are good you will miss being one of the first to apply.
Does this really matter? It could mean the difference between someone
reading your job app and not. More so, you need to be able to get to
those job apps faster. Why not use that time you are sitting on the bus
or the time you are spending waiting for your child's practice to end to
apply for jobs. It may be one of the best ways for you to connect to
potential employers on your time. It is a simple way to get the most
from the application process.
