Mobile technology is an essential tool for people nowadays, as it has brought significant benefits with its ability to process requests via a single device. It has the capability to help you find your dream job without the need to leave your home. In fact, a 2014 Glassdoor survey revealed that 9 out of 10 job seekers will maximize their mobile devices for job searches.
As mobile ownership is expected to increase, with the rise of new forms of devices, How can Job Seekers Maximize their Smartphone & Tablet’s Full Potential to Land their Dream Career ? Here are some ways you can use your device for job hunting.
Socially connect with employers
Previously, in order to connect with companies and hiring managers, you would have to attend gatherings or personally appear in their offices to give your resume. With the help of online tools and mobile technology job seekers are able to connect with employers via their devices without having to personally appear somewhere. Based on a study featured on The Undercover Recruiter, 67 percent of job hunters are maximizing Facebook, 45 percent are on Twitter, while 40 percent are using LinkedIn. Likewise, HR personnel are also using these platforms to do background checks on their potential applicants prior to inviting them for an interview.

Online job interviews
Some employers prefer talking to their selected applicants initially prior to inviting them to their office. Thus, be prepared for an online job interview at all times even when you are away from home. With the help of your mobile device with data connection, you will be able to take an important VOiP (voice over internet protocol) call from hiring managers wherever you go and instantly. We recommend using your smartphones as it comes pre-built with a good microphone, video screen, and speakers. It also comes pre-built with various apps such as the iPhone and Apple’s propriety messaging service. According to a post published by O2, the iPhone 6 comes with a wide screen, 64-bit processing power (ensuring no lag or freezing screen), fast wireless performance, and 1080p HD camera for video calling. There are also other apps that you can install for video conferencing such as Skype, Google Hangout, and ooVoo.
Tip: Apart from the device, you must also prepare yourself for the possible questions to be asked by the employer. Choose as well professional looking clothes, if ever the interviewer prefers video meeting. But, if you are dealing with a slow connection suggest to keep it as a voice call to avoid using more internet.
Searching for applications
With the rise in the usage of mobile devices for job searches, employers are also using mobile devices to find possible applicants. The latest app to garner a lot of recognition is the LinkedIn Job Search application for Android, although the iOS version of the app had actually been available nine months ago. It is said to allow job seekers to search for jobs on specifics such as location, specific keywords, job title and more. Users will also receive notifications whenever a nearby or a specific job title opens up that might interest them.
Here are some other job listing applications you may want to try out:
1. Indeed Job Search
2. Jobaware
3. Monster
4. Reach
5. JobCompass
