to update their resume on the go.
Manila, 12 March 2014 "“ JobStreet.com, the leading online job site in the region, has recently introduced an advanced feature to its mobile application which allows users to update their resume, right from their smartphones.
The job site presently caters to its 12 million users who are becoming increasingly mobile savvy and this latest enhancement complements the App's existing sophisticated features, which allows candidates to receive personalized job alerts with the right salary matching, refine job searches , view jobs near them on a map, and have the advantage of applying instantly to their desired job anytime, from anywhere on their mobile device.
The new Resume Update feature is currently available on iOS for iPhones, with versions for Android devices in the pipeline.
Candidates should make sure that their resumes are updated since many companies directly search for resumes in the JobStreet.com database for relevant talent. According to JobStreet.com, typically more than 390,000 resumes in its database are viewed by recruiters during peak hiring season-- which falls pn the first half of the year. Candidates who have not updated their resumes on career advancements and salary expectations will be less accurately matched with suitable job openings, and therefore will miss their next big career opportunity in the process.
The JobStreet.com Mobile App was launched in 2010. Since then, the mobile app saw more than 1.4 million downloads and usage continues to increase rapidly as the country's smartphone adoption grows. Smartphone penetration rate in the Philippines was approximately at 39% in 2013 which makes it among the highest smartphone penetration rates in Southeast Asia behind Singapore (72% in 2013) and ahead of Malaysia (35% in 2013)*.
As the number of smartphone users increase in the Philippines, JobStreet.com is poised to become the leading online job site that gives candidates the opportunity to find their dream jobs anytime, anywhere.
