JobFinder - Find That Dream Job!

What is JobFinder?
JobFinder is a desktop application designed for one task – to help people find jobs.  Enter your keywords, select your location and other desired criteria, and clickthe Find button – JobFinder will send your query to thirty-two separate Job Seeker web sites.  The results from each are displayed inyour favorite browser, or in JobFinder's own internal browser – just click the tabs to see what listings each web site has for you.


Why so many web sites?  Don't they all carry the same listings?
It's true that companies and recruiters will often list the same job at more than one site.  However, an even greater number do not.  Where is your dream job?  Is it listed at one of the few sites you check now, or perhaps only at some of the many you skip?  With JobFinder, it won't make any difference – if it's listed, you'll find it.


Which web sites does JobFinder use?
At this time, JobFinder uses AllJobSearch, Beyond, CareerBuilder, CareerJet, Clusty, FlipDog, Fresho, Gadball, GetTheJob, GoJobs, HotJobs, Indeed, Info, Insourced, Job, Jobalot, Jobs for Programmers, JobSearchUSA, Jobster, JobTarget, Jobvertise, JobVolume, Juju, Monster, NationJob, RetailManagerCareers, SimplyHired, SoloGig, TeleportJobs, Thingamajob, Wall Street Journal, and ZoomInfo.  We're always on the lookout for new sites though, and will add them as they are found.  When that happens there may be a new version of JobFinder posted, so check back periodically – your current version number is displayed at the top of this form.


Do I have to use all of them?
Absolutely not.  Just select "Choose Sites" from the Options menu, and decide for yourself whose listings you want to see.  Having that many doesn't mean you need to use every one of them.  Some are a bit specialized, and some are better than others for particular locations and job types.  It's about choice – try them, find the ones you like and trust, and turn the rest off.  It's all up to you.


What else does JobFinder do?
Nothing else – it won't proofread your resume or negotiate your salary, but it won't spam you either.  It will automatically keep your searches for ten days though, and allow you to print them, save them permanently, and even email links to them.  If AutoRun (in the File menu) is checked, when JobFinder is run it will automatically query the websites with the most recent search criteria selected.  Just below the input area is the Recent Searches list, which holds all the searches that were automatically saved for you.  To use one, simply select it from the list and click the ReFind button to the right..  These are cleared after ten days, but the list can also be edited whenever you want - just right-click on the list to show the menu.  (This also applies to search criteria drop-downs.)


I see some buttons, what do those do?
To the right of the Recent Searches list are three buttons.  The first two are the standard "Back" and "Forward" browser navigation buttons.  Since JobFinder uses a browser control to display pages, you can do some browser-type activities (right-click on a link to see your choices) but JobFinder isn't meant to be a web browser.  For that reason, the third button will copy the page from the current tab to the browser of your choice – Internet Explorer, FireFox, or Opera.  Click on the right side of the button (where the little down arrow is) to set your browser preference, and click the button itself to send the page there.

Directly below the results list and browser buttons is a tab strip.  This works much the same as the ones in Internet Explorer and FireFox.  Click on any tab to view those results.  If there are too many tabs to fit, small tabs with left and right arrows will appear to either side of the tab strip - click those to shift the tabs.  At the very left is a down-arrow tab - click this to see a complete list of all tabs, from which the desired results can also be selected.


It's free?  What's the catch?
If there is one, it's this: We hope you'll come back from time to time and see what's new.  If you find JobFinder useful, you might be interested to know that it's just one of the hundreds of searches MetaFind can perform.  MetaFind is now available for download – you can find it on the MetaFind Page.
