Apps and tech innovations that could help find you a dream job
Looking for work can be a stressful experience, and may even end up feeling like a full-time job in itself.
There are a multitude of apps and tech innovations designed to help people find their dream one.
Ready For Business (R4B) is a digital platform which helps people from deprived backgrounds come together with business experts who can mentor, motivate and guide them in their chosen career.
Barclays Life Skills is a digital source for all things self improvement, offering three main ‘hubs’ to choose from, including the educator hub, the young people’s hub and the business hub.
LinkedIn offers a sleek all in one job-search, giving the chance to virtually network with people in your industry, discover industry related news, keep up to date with specific companies’ job postings as well as searching for jobs more generally.
The tool is also widely used by recruiters, so they can find you. Just upload your CV.
Sometimes job searching can seem a long drawn out process but Hirewire is an app that aims to get you a job in 24 hours.
Hirewire has worked to streamline the job hunting process and make it as efficient as possible.
Instead of asking you to merely upload a CV, it asks you to build an interactive profile to let employers check you out, and gain a fuller picture of who you are. It also has built-in tools for scheduling interviews, and video and text chat with local businesses.
CareerBuilder.com is a digital platform which facilitates the job hunt, and it also has its very own app.
With an easy to use interface, the app gives users instant access to millions of job postings where they can filter searches by a range of needs, such as qualifications and salary expectations.
It is compatible with Android and Apple devices, and can be downloaded from the App store or Google Play store.
Indeed.com is a well known job searching website that also boasts its own app. The app has proved popular among job seekers with an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars from nearly 1.2 million reviewers in the App store.
Its functions are fairly similar to the website, giving users the ability to search for millions of postings in seconds with the use of a keyword and location, and the ability to apply for a role with the click of a button.
