jobcentreplusThis app will help you search for job vacancies in every job center nationwide, thus, offering you access to a number of positions possible.
There are different ways to search for a job. First, you can search for a term and locate the place. So if you are looking for a sales job in Rotherham, you can just enter that information and click Search. Another way is that you can use the location capabilities of your iDevice to just search for vacancies near the vicinity. Lastly, you can search for jobs categorically. So if you want to be a teacher, just tap on the title and search for all the positions near the vicinity.
You can also search for every job near your place even if you do not specify what job you want. However, this is not advisable because there will be far too many results. One great feature of this app is that you can favorite any job ads you read so that you can just re-read them later. Another great thing about this app is the number of preferences and options available that will help you find your job more easily. So, using this app is less stressful than visiting a real Job Center.
