Facebook Apps for Job Searching

Saturday June 27, 2009
Just about everyone is using Facebook for personal networking, but you can use it for professional networking, as well. With lots of job search applications to choose from, Facebook is becoming more than a social networking site. These Facebook job search apps can all be used as part of your job search.

On a related note, there are lots of job search related iPhone apps, too. There are a variety of apps for your iPhone and iPod Touch that you can use to expedite and manage your job search. You can download job search iPhone apps that search for jobs by keyword and location (using the iPhone GPS function), email job listings, keep track of your contacts, and even create a resume.

Many iPhone applications are free. Before you buy an app, check for reviews in the iTunes store to make sure it's worth investing a few dollars.
