The Paperless Job Search: New StartWire Release Makes It Easy

Who wants to make time for spreadsheets or room for post-its in the summer? 

At StartWire, we think it should be as easy to keep track of your job search as it is to make plans for cook-outs and get-together with friends.

Our release today makes it easier to keep track of your job search with the following enhancements:

• Better feedback from employers: Get e-mail or text updates on your job application status at over 2,500 companies (the list is growing) 
• At-a-glance information on how old a job posting listing is — we give you information on how many days it’s been since you’ve applied as well as a gauge of how active the current position is.
• The ability to store comments on job applications — or get automatic suggestions on where to apply based on your interests.

As always, StartWire allows you to track and keep records on any job you’ve applied to online. It’s free, private, and information is shared only with those of your trusted friends you want to be in the know on your job search.

You can set up a StartWire account here or by forwarding any e-mail confirmation message (you know the “don’t call us, we’ll call you message you get when you apply for a job) to apps@startwire.com 

Check it out, and drop us a line and let us know what you think!
