For $3.99, JobCompass [iTunes URL] gives iPhone users a device to scour for jobs with extra emphasis on location - the better to quickly see how far from home you’re willing to travel. Yes, there’s a reason “the daily grind” is part of the everyman's lexicon.
Here’s what you need to know about the download:
Design
As far as design goes, it’s one of the best. The free options currently on the market, CareerBuilder’s “Jobs” [iTunes] and FICC’s “JOBS!” [iTunes], are noticeable less heavy on pizazz.
It’s not that browsing CareerBuilder’s more veteran alternative isn’t nice to use. It definitely is. Pardon the pun, but it gets the job done. It’s just that JobCompass wears itself better. Of course, whether it $3.99 better is something to take into account as well.
Utility
It’s also useful insofar as mobile access goes. Inputs are easy enough to make. Return data is conveniently arranged in pockets within a specified region. Subsequently, favored job listings can be emailed for future reference. (Applying while on-the-go perhaps isn’t the ideal way to seek gainful employment.)
