JobStreet.com Launches Latest iPhone App Service ‘Jobs Near Me’

Jobseekers can now find jobs near their preferred work location with just a shake of the iPhone, anytime and anywhere

Kuala Lumpur, 4 April 2012 – JobStreet.com launched their latest JobStreet iPhone app service called ‘Jobs Near Me’ at their recent 13th Career Fair. The latest iPhone app enables jobseekers to find jobs at their ideal work location with just a shake of their phone.

“45% of jobseekers in Malaysia whom we surveyed last year said that they could not find a suitable job at their preferred location. Hence, to make it more convenient for jobseekers to find and apply for jobs, JobStreet.com is excited to launch this latest initiative,” said Aina Zahari, Head of Product Management at JobStreet.com.“With just a shake of the iPhone, all the job opportunities available near the jobseeker’s ideal work location will appear on the map view. It is simple to use. Jobseekers can find their dream jobs at their preferred locations, for example near their house, the train station or even at popular work locations conveniently,” added Aina.

Aina continued, “Jobseekers can also refine the job search results by using keywords, or filtering by specialization and position level. Jobs matching the search criteria will appear on their iPhone. Jobseekers can then view job advertisement details and apply to the jobs they like. Jobseekers can also get travel directions and estimated travel times to the company locations easily. They can also avoid traffic jams and take advantage of public transportation by searching for jobs near the LRT, Monorail, or KTM stations, which are shown on the map”.
“JobStreet.com is pleased to deliver a service that is convenient for our jobseekers, who are increasingly engaged with their smartphones while on the move,” said Aina.

The new version of the JobStreet iPhone app is now available for download from the Apple App Store. JobStreet mobile apps are also available for free for Blackberry and phones with the Android operating system.
