BlogWe’ve been hearing a lot of feedback from our users and customers about their desire to use Becomed to manage and optimize their job search beyond the old “find job opening, send resume and cover letter, rinse, repeat”. And while we’ve become really good at doing this part and guiding our users along the path [...]
First, the boring part: during the last couple of weeks we’ve been busy doing a makeover for Becomed.com’s infrastructure. It is not something that you, the user, can see, but trust me it’s very important and will make adding features and functionality to Becomed a lot easier.
Ok, now for the sexy parts – new features:

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 [...]
Just finished implementing another feature that was requested by a Becomed user (thanks, Dave L!) – the ability to set reminders for all objects, not just job applications.

Based on a user request (thanks, Mike!), we’ve implemented the option to delete resumes and cover letters that aren’t referenced by any job application.

On July 30th we’ve released the initial version of the new release, and today, with the addition of the redesign of the front page, we’re officially launching the new version [...]
Just finished implementing the last major component of the website I had on my product roadmap, which was a printable dossier you can take with you to interviews. By going to an application and clicking the “print dossier” icon, you will get a printer-friendly clean version of the entire contents of the job application, including [...]

Better editing of notes and job descriptions
Improved application page layout
Ability to close applications, so that they no longer are listed as active applications
and the ability to remove associated URLs from company pages
Every day, there are more and more improvements to the functionality of the site. If [...]
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 [...]
Just finished implementing the new Recruiter section of the site, where you can record recruiter information.
