It is the start of the year! What better way to open 2011 than by getting that dream job. And if you are using a Droid phone, you’re lucky. There are various types of applications you can download and use to speed up the job hunting process. Begin with the following:

Hire a Droid
If you are just to choose one application for Droid, this should be it. It is the most comprehensive job search app available to date. It gathers job searches from all the major online resources such as CareerBuilder, Indeed.com, and SimplyHired. In just a few presses of a button, you will instantly gather hundreds of results for a particular position. Isn’t that a huge time saver for you?

Moreover, Hire a Droid allows you to save the keywords or the queries you utilized. This way, if you want to keep yourself up-to-date to new job listings for the same position, you don’t have to type the same keyword or key-phrase again. There are also operator buttons such as “and” and “or” to filter certain job searches. And if you are looking for an international job, you can choose among the 18 countries it covers.

DialFaster
Just imagine yourself skimming through a list of Fortune 500 companies, and then you start to wonder if they have a position for you. Calling them would definitely be a very bright idea, but there is a minor glitch: you do not know their numbers. You don’t have to worry, though, as you can conveniently transform your droid phone into a handy phone book. All you have to do is download the DialFaster application. It has more than 500 telephone numbers (and counting) and you can save as many as you like into your mobile phone. Moreover, you can go to the call log to keep track of your phone calls. However, this app will only provide you with U.S. numbers.

HulloMail
Just because you are using a mobile phone does not necessarily mean you are no longer going to miss a single phone call. That should be all right until you discover that a potential employer has been contacting but cannot reach you for some reason. If you don’t want to miss any phone call at all, use HulloMail. It is a voice message or voicemail application, which is available to you for free. You can access all your voicemails anytime you like. You can obtain notifications through your e-mail, as well as listen to calls through your mobile phone.

Document Scanner
Do you need to send those application forms and resume right away? Do not wait until you get home to have them scanned. You can actually use your own droid phone to do that. With the help of the phone’s camera, take a snapshot of all your documents and convert the files to PDF through the Document Scanner application. You can then e-mail your cover letter, application form, and / or resume through your mobile phone.
