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!

P.S. You can read about how Lazarus came back from the dead, in the Bible, John chapter 11, here!
