How to search and find a job on the GO!

These days, finding the right job no longer needs to mean hours spent flipping the pages of the local newspapers or trawling websites only to find the job for you is no longer available, is based a long way from home or requires qualifications you don’t have but weren’t advertised.

Thanks to the many mobile Apps now available, job hunting has never been more simple, and we can search when and wherever we like. Commuting, watching television, over coffee, on the train and according to a study in the US by Statista, the most popular place to search for jobs using a mobile is in bed.

But how do you know which App is your best source for jobs that are right for you? Here are three of the best.
