In my spare time (and I have lots of spare time now, being unemployed) I’ve created a website to help unemployed people track their job applications. Right now applying for jobs is a numbers game, and people have to send dozens if not hundreds of job applications to get a response from a handful. Instead of having a passive, labor-intensive list of all the places you applied to, the site I created (http://www.becomed.com) helps you automate a lot of the manual labor and also has automatic reminders (e.g. for interview follow-ups) to help you keep on top of the day-to-day tedium of applying for a job.
Check it out and let me know what you think. If you have an idea for improvement, I’d love to hear it.
You have a great site! A lot of great reading material (just bookmarked it). My name is Lisa, and I work with the website ZooCaro.
I just came across your site and am hoping you can add our job search site to your employment links list. All the info is below, I can put your link up in exchange.
