Glassdoor Does Push Notifications, relevant jobs in the palm of your hand

Glassdoor, a popular online community that brings companies and job hunters together uniquely, has just added a 'Job Feed' to its mobile app. This feed will allow users to receive job listings based on their own customized key words at any time of day.

They have also added a 'Job Scope' button as a part of the update. The Job Scope button is one-click access to company information, such as reviews by actual employees or salaries. This type of transparent information is how Glassdoor is set apart and also why the community is aptly named.

This could make the job hunt significantly less tedious. Just another creative way Glassdoor is trying to make it more painless.

To Social Media Tips for Your Job Hunt - MBA + Graduates

Boston Inno's Tiffany Jennings offers 5 smart, concise action tips for proactively leveraging the Net in job searches.

The 5 tips + a Now4Next take:

  1. Use Keywords - your Twitter, Linked In, Google + accounts should included key words for 'what you want to be known as' not just resume-like experience terms, but terms that define your aspirations for future career roles
  2. Google Yourself - well put in the article - Google yourself because potential employers will, what do you WANT them to see?
  3. Connect with potential employers - my favorite - follow desireable potential employers on Twitter + Google +.  RT and +1 relevant posts. You will better understand company's and organization's priorities if you are active in their social circles.
  4. Mind your manners - show off your professional aptitude in social environments
  5. Keep it Human - RTs or +1s without a personal comment or perspective looks like robot spam - social means people.
