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.
