We’re very excited to annouce the availability of two new features that had been requested by active users of the site, that we feel that you’ll quite like:

Unemployment Reporting

Some states in the US require that unemployed job seekers provide a list of job opportunities they’ve sought when asking for unemployment benefits, to prove that they are actively seeking employment. Now, with Becomed, you can track which job applications you’ve already reported to the state simply by marking them. To use this functionality, simply go to the “Unemployment Report” section of the site.

Data Backup

Users have been asking for a way to download all of their data on Becomed, so that they can make their own backups and plug their information into other system. We back up the entire site every day, but since this is your data, we decided to make it easily available to you. To create an Excel-compatible CSV (comma-separated values) file with your job applications, contacts, companies, resumes and cover letters in it, just go to the Account Settings page and select what data you’d like to back up.

Other changes

We’ve made some minor cosmetic changes, as well as some other back-end changes to improve the operations of the site. We’ll be doing a more extensive overhaul of the inner workings of Becomed in the upcoming weeks, but that should be completely invisible to you (except for the new features that it will allow us to provide).

As always, if you have any suggestions for features you’d like to see in Becomed, please email us at support@becomed.com
