For Immediate Release
theJobDesk Revolutionizes the Job-Search Process
DeskMasters Announces Its Official Release of theJobDesk Desktop Application.
DeskMasters brings organization and clarity to the job-search market with its user-friendly desktop application – theJobDesk.
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – July 14, 2009 - DeskMasters, Inc. proudly announces the release of version 1.0 of theJobDesk, its powerful desktop application aimed at organizing and energizing the job search process. Powered by Indeed.com, theJobDesk consolidates 1,000’s of major job board, newspaper, and company internet job postings - all within a single application.
This powerful application allows users to easily customize their search criteria by defining keywords, location, radius and job titles. In addition, with a single click, theJobDesk lets users create filters that eliminate irrelevant job postings based on keywords. "Too often when people use job boards or search engines, they get many unwanted postings,” says Ariel Jakobovits, creator of theJobDesk. “When looking for engineering positions, I didn’t appreciate results for medical assistants or telemarketing positions. This frustration inspired our patent-pending filter tool that lets users block these search results from ever showing up.”
In creating a desktop application to help job seekers stay organized and prepare for every step of the process, DeskMasters incorporated several productivity tools to provide users the power to track every aspect of the job-search process. theJobDesk allows users to save their favorite job opportunities to the application’s database for quick and easy access, providing patent-pending technologies for saving essential company and job description information from online listings. Within each of these saved job postings, not only can users easily review the opportunity at any time, but they can track which resume was sent, schedule interview dates into theJobDesk calendar, practice interview questions, save company information, and with a quick glance - know the next action that needs to be taken for each saved job. According to Jakobovits, “Job seekers encounter hundreds of job postings from online sources and through networking. Eventually, they all blend together. Our goal was to develop a program that makes managing these job opportunities easier, without having to use Excel or pen and paper.”
According to Patricia Steele, DeskMasters’ Director of Marketing, “Anyone can find tons of listings if they spend hours upon hours browsing job boards or newspapers. Consolidating these listings in a single application that can organize your data, help you prepare for an interview, and give you new approaches to the job-search process is incredibly powerful! There is no other web-based or desktop application available today with so many powerful and intricate features designed to give users a leg up on the competition. theJobDesk is exactly what the job-search market needs.”
