The telephone calling.

-- -- -- Invest I think it depends you know I think the first way to do it -- -- you know you know recruiters are really busy people they're getting you know lots of applications every single day.

So you know nice kind of courtesy follow up would be nice -- but after that you know you can kind of you know pick up the phone and -- directly.

So it's it's although being persistent without being -- -- and we should mention the fact that in applying to all these jobs one resonate doesn't always work yet so.

You know the best way to kind of apply for jobs -- to really tailor them to the position that.

Your appliances -- making sure.

You reference specific things about the company.

Economists see your interest in your understanding and knowledge -- of that company.

Which means that usually have multiple versions -- -- And that's one area that becomes really difficult keep track yeah I can imagine -- we -- need.

Your company right exactly -- had a we use -- data help me out so little red man's.

All the different job interviews all follow up -- -- the cover letter exactly that is you know a whole lot of different things in the way that people currently.

You know organizer job search is -- a spreadsheet.

That's not really efficient because you create this big spreadsheet.

You know you start.

You know -- -- different columns and all of a sudden you have this big mess and so -- -- automate that process OK so -- -- you -- -- -- -- job from a different you know -- -- Whether it's a job board or an employer had you get running Citi.

Had a had as a user find agents -- -- you logon to.

WWW currency dot com okay we're looking at right you sign up you can sign up through FaceBook -- then it's very Twitter it's obsolete -- is thing.

-- -- a -- one of those services or you're you know across and then you can sell either a bookmark it.

Which is you know this little thing my guess -- if you're familiar with interest yet.

It's pretty much you know the same thing a little tool that lets you come bookmark things on the go.

Or browser extension and then you start you know bookmarking different positions that do it.

-- And how do.

Mean openings turn up on -- side.

You can also search for job -- -- you how do you go about search right now on the site itself you know the idea is that you're already searching on a lot of difference.

It's -- and so.

You know what we let you do is we that you take that experience that spread out across a lot of different sites -- and bring.

In one place it's okay that becomes kind of your personal -- for -- -- Johnson.

Right those nice the company kinda ended up a profile for every person and it just said that one profile top of prospective employers -- you have to do with it exactly.

That would you know I don't know world -- -- and a little more I don't have to be a little bit more tailored.

What other tips could you give us less social media yeah.

How should we used Twitter and FaceBook and everything else to it to dance get a job yes so I mean I think one of the big trends that you're saying is a lot of the recruiting process is actually going on line.

And so it's important you know as -- finding different companies in different recruiters can to see you know what types of activity they.

Right you know -- the Twitter sphere on FaceBook etc.

So you know following specific companies following specific recruiters -- that are -- You know seeing what they're talking about seeing the types of things that they're -- -- yourself fair and -- exactly.

You know there hasn't been a lot of innovation in this space and I think that's what we're trying to do you know.

Infuse some of these you know new modern tools -- -- creating jobs by helping exactly I mean you know how ironic for one example you know.

Right now the way that you know you wouldn't kind of figure out if somebody is working and company that -- applying to is going going on FaceBook.

And searching their profile and seeing if they you know had worked there in the house.

Whereas with unseat you log in with FaceBook or or -- -- for example we automatically pull that information in one place means that when you're applying for the job you can actually get a warm introduction.

Instead of trying to send the cool cool -- you know which is much more.
