- My Job Tips
A productivity tool for job seekers!
In-Touch Software has just launched an exciting new internet application, myjobtips, the first productivity tool that empowers job seekers to be more effective in searching for employment. This is not a job board - it is a tool to keep track of your online job search. In fact, for job seekers, we take over from where job boards leave off.
Rather than using pieces of paper, a spreadsheet or relying on your memory, myjobtips allows job seekers to effortlessly track jobs of interest. Just bookmark the URL of jobs you're interested in and then add additional details like descriptive information, tags and comments. As the number of users increases, our objective is to use the power of the total community to add value for the job seeker.
