Job Application Assistant1.0.0.91

We all went through the struggle of finding a job to fit our skills and knowledge, but most of the time they have unrealistic and hard-to-achieve demands. Plus, writing an appropriate resume for each position can end up being tiring and time wasting. There are a lot of tools over the Internet that helps you create resumes and recommendation letters, but how many of them offer you the choice to apply for that position as well?

Find suitable positions using a straightforward layout

Job Application Assistant is one of the few programs, which provides a basic resume creator and the ability to look up for various jobs using craigslist as a search engine and apply to them with the push of a button. The cover letter changes automatically based on the job description. The app is wrapped in an approachable yet unprofessional interface divided into a search window on the left side of the panel, a simplistic toolbar containing navigational, options and send buttons and an editor on the right.

Set up your account details, find jobs that fit your profile and send your resume

Before you start looking for positions, you first have to set up your Curriculum Vitae and the recommendation letter from the options menu. If you already have a resume ready, you can choose the first alternative, which uses a standard letter, second if you don't, and the third lets you write a custom letter. Next, you need to input your full name and preferred phone number, login with your Gmail account or use another email address, and attach the resume.Then you can take your time browsing all the available jobs, read their descriptions and if you come to the conclusion that it fits, you can easily press the add button. It automatically enters the employer email address into the editor, from where you can change the content, write a subject title and send the message. Plus, the tool lets you deliver test emails to yourself to preview how your email looks like to edit it further until you're happy with it. In the history tab, you have the option to view all the positions you applied to and their status.

Finally

The bottom line is that Job Application Assistant is a handy application, however, its unprofessional and messy layout leaves a lot to be desired. It provides an easy method of applying to different jobs using craigslist as a main source and comes with a basic letter email editor. During our testing, the tool encountered issues that concluded in crushing the application.
