Text messaging has of course been around for many years now and, as in the case of SMStheJob, its uses are only growing in number. With the release of iPhone 4G just around the corner, the number of text messages sent daily is not going to reduce any time soon! Who would’ve thought, say, ten years ago, that job seekers would one day be able to not only view jobs via their mobile phones, but also apply for them? Even the writers of The Jetsons cartoon had probably not considered the potential for such an application. But they did conduct job interviews over video conferencing, and George Jetson himself certainly had to ‘face the music’ with his boss in that way.

Considering that Telstra’s new ‘State of the Nation’ report recently revealed that one in three Australians prefer texting to other communication forms, is it any wonder that the ordinary old days of scouring the newspaper ads on a Wednesday or Saturday are numbered?

Keep your search for a new job private

The beauty of a service such as SMStheJob is that it’s accessible even when you are sitting at your desk in your current job. Being able to view jobs on offer, upload your résumé and apply for your dream job, without your current boss being privy to all of this on the company’s computers, is gold. You can do it all via your mobile and keep everything as private as it needs to be.

Premium service, ordinary cost

There are no premium text message cost blow-outs either, which is vital when your cash flow might be running a bit low as you look for employment. You simply register to receive text messages about new jobs in your chosen categories, upload your résumé and begin receiving SMS’s for free. The only cost to you is the standard SMS cost of 25 cents if you decide to apply for one of the jobs.

SMStheJob is very proud to be able to offer such a useful, convenient service to job seekers and recruiters. Mobile accessibility means that jobs can be viewed during the commute – on the train or bus – on breaks at work, or when out for coffee or a movie. Never miss an opportunity because it will be texted to your pocket or handbag like never before!
