Mark Twain A friend of mine has been out of work for several months due to his company declaring bankruptcy. Although hes been diligently looking for work, hes not had much luck. His background is fairly diverse, so there are a number of different functional roles he could fill. One of his problems is that his resume is not particularly focused on any one job type and he has decided he must have several resumes (each of which will focus on a particular field). This is a fairly big task, further compounded by spur of the moment calls from recruiters, looking for a resume which is targeted to a specific role. So how does one tweak a resume while on the run? There are some apps out there (see below) to (somewhat) help. This article will cover 5 job search Resume/Cover letter and help apps. Pocket Resume The app is available for the iPhone/iPad, Blackberry and Android for $2.99 (price at the time this article was written). Allows resume creation (leveraging LinkedIn profile), export to pdf/RTF, emailing your resume from your smartphone and uploading to Dropbox. Giga-CV This app appears to be only available on the iPhone/iPad and is also priced at $2.99. The app has similar sections (personal details, positions, objectives, education, work experience, skills, etc.) as Pocket Resume for creating a resume. There is a tab where you can review, email, print or trash your resume. You can also create and email cover letters along with your resume. I did not see an import function or external storage (like DropBox). Career Igniter Resume Builder Career Igniter Resume Builder is an Android app that allows you to create a professional resume on your smartphone (not sure if they have an iOS version) or on their site. You can create your resume Microsoft Word format, leveraging a resume template. Other options include the ability to email the resume to yourself or a potential employer as well as update your resume at a later date. Available for the Android. My Jobs Pro: Job Search Organizer This smartphone job search organizer for the iPhone/iPad. There is also a web version (you need to register for the web version). This app allows you to search for jobs via Indeed.com, data sync, details of job search (jobs, employers, recruitment agencies, etc.) and more. Resume App Im sure youve guessed that this app is $2.99 for the iPhone/iPad version. Enter your personal and job specific info (does not look like there is an import function), view or email in pdf, create a generic cover letter. Seems fairly basic, with more functionality promised in future versions. We are always eager to hear from our readers.
