The new job search

Some new tools make the process of finding a job easier than scouring classified ads and knocking on doors.

Besides the many job sites such as Monster, CareerBuilder, Indeed and Dice, job seekers are using a slew of smartphone apps to discover what's out there, meet people in their fields and create snazzy portfolios. More than half of job seekers report using their mobile device to look for work at least once a day, according to Glassdoor, the online jobs and recruiting marketplace, which has a Glassdoor Job Search app.
