Isabont becomes Virtual Job Coach

Job search organiser website Isabont has now become Virtual Job Coach.

Isabont, now Virtual Job Coach, provides tools for managing a job search. It has some similarities with Jason Alba's JibberJobber site.

The name 'Isabont' meant 'Is a Bridge', bont being Welsh for 'bridge'. This referred to the idea that the site was a bridge to the next job, providing all sorts of helps with CV/resume writing, job search tracking and contact management.

Barry Simpson, the site owner, has wisely decided to change its name to something more understandable and memorable to job seekers.

Virtual Job Coach offers:

• CV/Resume and Cover Letter Wizards
• Calendar and To-do list
• Mobile phone and E-mail Reminders
• Networking
• Organisation
• Application Tracking
• Contact Manager
  
• Company Information
• Job Listings: leads from the top sites sent to you.

Resurrect Your Online Application Forms with Lazarus!

How frustrating it is to enter a lot of information on a web form, only to lose it inadvertently when you click through to another page. When you attempt to go back to the page you were working on, all your precious data and hard work is gone, and you have to start again.

This is even worse if you were working on an online job application and find that all the information you were carefully typing suddenly disappears through some mishap, before you have been able to complete and send the application. The nature of a job application is that you want to spend time on it, and go back to it later if necessary to continue working on it.

Now you can recover the information you were typing in online forms using the new Firefox extension, Lazarus. This saves your data as you type, so when you return to the page, all you have to do is point somewhere in the form and right click, then select Recover Form from the context menu. This will fill out the form with all the information you were typing before you were interrupted.

This has got to be a top tool and a most welcome help for job hunters!
