At the touch of an iPhone icon, job searchers using CareerBuilder.com can access the latest jobs from one of the largest job boards in North America. The tool is available on the Apple App Store.
Users simply use the "jobs" icon in their iPhone applications menu and then hit the "search" bar.Using the iPhone's built-in geolocation technology, the
CareerBuilder.com application automatically determines the city you are
standing in and then allows you to find a job using a simple keyword
search. The entire CareerBuilder database is then searched immediately. Within moments, you receive a list of all applicable jobs
nearby.
"CareerBuilder.com is constantly exploring new ways to reach the widest
possible audience and is excited to be launching an application on the
Apple App Store," said Richard Castellini, vice president of consumer marketing at CareerBuilder.com. "Giving iPhone and iPod Touch users the
ability to search for jobs on the go adds a whole new level of
convenience and accessibility to job hunting and is far more
sophisticated than just connecting to a typical Web site from your cell
phone."
Utilizing CareerBuilder.com’s enormous database of over 1.6 million
jobs, the new application "Jobs" will immediately send users details of
nearby available jobs, allow them to be saved as favorites, and then
email users a reminder to apply later if they do not do so right away.
Since the iPhone is not made for typing letters, CareerBuilder advises applicants to apply from their personal computers. The iPhone application will email the selected jobs to the applicant's home unit.
