Do you spend a lot of time of Facebook? Now it's easier than ever to look for a job with the new Facebook app from PhillyJobs!
All the Facebook addicts out there now have a reason to celebrate! Now that PhillyJobs.com has released their Facebook application, you can look for a job, network with your friends and share job listings without ever having to leave Facebook.
To get started, all you have to do is go to the PhillyJobs.com Facebook App here, and then when the request for permission box pops up, click the “Allow” button, and you're all set. Once you have the application added to your Facebook account you're ready to start searching!
With the new app, you can save
if you are looking for a certain type of job every day. Along with the easy search feature, you can even invite your friends and share job openings
with each other. If you have other job seekers in your network, it's a great way to “crowdsource” your job search with your group, so that your friends and family can help you search for the job of your dream.
I had the opportunity to play around with the new app earlier this week, and I've got to tell you, it's pretty fabulous. I really like the “friends” functionality of this program. The application is designed for people who are looking for jobs in the Philadelphia area while harnessing the power of the Beyond.com job search engine.
One of my other favorite things (and with an app this useful, it's hard to pick just one thing) is that you can create an alert for a specific job search. For example, if you are looking for a job in Marketing in the Philadelphia area, you can enter the keywords: Marketing, Philadelphia, PA. Once you have your search terms and are seeing the type of results you are interested in, you can save the search and even create an alert by selecting the check box within the search bar. The alert will send you a notification when new jobs are posted that meet your search criteria, allowing you to get a head start on applying. 
So what are you waiting for? Take a look at the PhillyJobs.com Facebook App and get started making your job search easier. The job of your dreams could be just a few clicks away! If you’d like to view a great “How To” presentation, check out their cool Prezi presentation, click here!
