Apply for jobs directly from your phone with LinkedIn

August 5, 2013

LinkedIn has simplified the process of applying for jobs by allowing its millions of users to apply directly from its mobile app.

The update was made today and it isn’t a sizeable one, with it simply adding an Apply and Save Job button next to each listing on its recently added “Jobs you might be interested in” section.

LinkedIn’s associate product manager, Vaibhav Goel told Mashable that “over 30% of members who view jobs on LinkedIn come from mobile,” so the company is clearly investing in making its mobile user’s jobs easier.

Would you use your phone to apply for jobs? Or would you rather stick to a more traditional method? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
