Job seekers must be on the hunt for new opportunities 24/7 to maintain a competitive advantage over other job seekers. Don’t just connect, be efficient in your search. Your smartphone’s apps not only make it easier for you to find a ride at 12 a.m. or food near your current location, but they also help you find job postings and tips whenever you want!

The CityHour app allows you to convert your free time into productivity. This free app allows you to arrange face-to-face meetings with other professionals. Many career experts recommend setting up informal meetings with industry professionals to learn more about their career experiences. CityHour helps to eliminate the awkward “ask” phase by syncing your LinkedIn profile to find contacts who are already open to scheduling in-person meetings. You can quickly connect and schedule a meeting with anyone in a 50-mile radius willing to meet in the next 2 hours. Once you’ve selected a meeting place, the information is automatically synced with your phone’s calendar making the process flow effortlessly. 

5. LinkedIn Job Search

The CityHour app won’t work unless you have a LinkedIn profile. Similarly, the Linkedin Job Search app is an extension of the original Linkedin platform. The LinkedIn Job Search app makes it easier to connect to the people and things that matter in your professional world. Just like on the LinkedIn website, LinkedIn Job Search lets you search for open positions in your industry and sort them by date posted, salary and other important criteria. The Linkedin Job Search app recommends jobs based on your profile and past search criteria and when you find something you like, you can apply directly in-app with your LinkedIn profile. The app is available to download for free and is compatible with multiple platforms.


Let your apps work in your favor. Don’t make finding a job more diffiuclt, time-consuming, or frustrating than it needs to be. Check out these apps for an improved job seeking process. Afterall, MAU is here to help make lives better!
