10 Smartphone Apps to Power a Successful Job Search

Posted on February 7, 2013 by Under30Careers.com

When I quit my job in October, my heart was pumping with energy, and sinking with self doubt at the same time.

Was my career path about to burn out… or soar to the top?

Morgan Stanley reported: “nearly all 91% of Americans have their cell phones within arm’s reach 24 hours a day.” In addition, over 50% of the population owns a smartphone. I knew with my cellphone in hand, I had the top asset for job hunting in 2013.
Once I succeeded, I compiled a list of my favorite Smartphone apps to help you network, job search, and prepare for interviews in the coming year. Take a look at the iPhone and Android tools accessories that helped me… and will help you, too.

For more than 16 years, Buzz Marketing Group has been a leader in identifying Millennials’ trends and insights. Each year, we publish our trend predictions for the coming 12 months. Our biggest trends in the past have included Wharholism, Instanity, Massclusivity, and Conscious Consumption.
Below is our list of trends in 2013 — and what each might mean to your brand this year:

1. Social Voice

When it comes to their privacy, Millennials will demand to be heard even more in 2013. SOPA, PIPA, and other grassroots campaigns against privacy policies at companies like Facebook are only the beginning.

Ten Reasons to Stop Worrying and Love the Millennials

You may think of them as "The PlayStation Generation," but your Millennial employees may be just the kind of "digital cowboys" that your organization needs to succeed in today's fast-paced, 24/7 business world. While you and your fellow executives may harbor some biases against them – that they're over-entitled and lack a work ethic – it's time to throw away these stereotypes and recognize the unique contributions Millennials can bring to an IT department. In the book "No Fear: Business Leadership for the Digital Age" (Marshall Cavendish Corp/available now), authors Pekka Viljakainen and Mark Mueller-Eberstein illuminate the many positive traits of the Millennial generation. They're less constrained by hierarchy, restrictive corporate traditions and geographic and cultural borders than some of your older staffers, for example. Viljakainen is the former president of Tieto International and now provides consulting for business leaders and tech teams. Mueller-Eberstein is founder/CEO of Adgetec Corp.

Millennial Momentum describes how the Millennial Generation is changing  the way the United States lives and learns, votes and governs, works and plays.

About every eight decades, coincident with the most stressful and perilous events in U.S. history — the Revolutionary and Civil Wars and the Great Depression and World War II — a new, positive, accomplished, and group-oriented "civic generation" emerges to change the course of history and remake America. The Millennial Generation (born 1982-2003) is America's newest civic generation.

From the authors of Mlllennial Makeover —
one of the New York Times 10-Favorite Books of
2008 — comes an inspiring glimpse into our nation's future.  Read more...
