BlogJust finished implementing a long list of site improvements, including:
Every day, there are more and more improvements to the functionality of the site. If there’s a feature you’d like to see which doesn’t appear, please let us know.
Just finished implementing a new feature: an optional daily email with your upcoming agenda – what events are expected and what reminders you have to act on. This email is optional and turned off by default. To enable daily agenda emails, go to your user settings section and turn it on.
Also, all emails sent from Becomed.com are now HTML emails (plaintext version also avaialble, for those using older or limited email applications). Hurray!
Just finished implementing the new Recruiter section of the site, where you can record recruiter information.
Added the ability to add a “Sent references” event as a job application milestone.
Just implemented the new “References” section of the site, where you can record people who you’ve worked with who will be your references.
Also made quite a few improvements to the site, such as a better search algorithm, improved site design and improved site workflow.
The site redesign has been completed. I hope you like it! Please let me know if anything looks wonky.
Just finished implementing a new section of the site: the Analysis section shows you statistics about which resumes and cover letters are getting you the most attention, how many interviews you’re having (so you can see if you’re experiencing trouble getting that all-important second interview), and other statistics to help you analyze your job hunting success.
Just added a simpler way to edit the resume and cover letter text: simply double-click on them to open up an edit box.
Just finished implementing a search box so that you will be able to search on keywords and find the relevant applications and companies they appear in. This is very useful if you have a lot of data and you don’t want to run through lists of companies and applications to find the ones you’re looking for.
Also, added the option to include related website URLs for companies. This is the place to list the company’s website, research links and links to other websites that might be reviewing or discussing the website. This is an important part of the company research information.
Just finished implemented the much-requested feature of being able to edit existing milestones of your application. For example, if you need to change the notes of interviews, or update which resume and cover letter you attached to your application, you can now edit the milestones in the application timeline and update all these details.
