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 [...]

I’ve added the option to add any application event at any time, without the predefined path of which event follows another event (e.g. after an interview you have a follow-up). The system now still recommends the next step or event in the [...]

Based on your feedback, I’ve made improvements to nearly all the sections of the site.

The login page now has an option to resend the activation email, in case you deleted it
The dashboard has a new useful list of your most active applications (those who went beyond the initial resume submission)
Application and company pages now have [...]

Just implemented a couple of new features:

Added ability to add company contacts on the company pages. This feature was requested by an anonymous user on the Becomed.com feedback forum . Please keep the feedback coming!
Added ability to quickly edit application names, company names, resume names and cover letter names by double clicking on their name.
