Find a Job With Jibe [Web Spy]

By Laura Dondero

With just a few weeks left until Summer, you should probably start looking for that perfect job! If you haven’t found anything yet, don’t worry — Jibe can help!

One part of Jibe is a regular job search engine. Type in a job title, company name or keywords along with a location, and Jibe will return a list of relevant jobs. Once you find a job you think you’re qualified for, click the “Apply” button at the top.

Now this is where Jibe is different from other job search sites. Once you click “apply,” Jibe will ask you to sign in with either Facebook or LinkedIn. Then, after you upload your cover letter and résumé, Jibe will scan your network of LinkedIn or Facebook contacts to see if you know anyone that currently works at the company you are applying for. If so, you can ask for them to give you a “thumbs up” — a quick referral that can help set you apart from the sea of other applicants.

The referral feature is, however, optional, as there are probably plenty of jobs on Jibe that you’ll want to apply for where you won’t know someone who can give you a recommendation. But it’s a great resource for you to utilize if you do have the connection!

I’m sure you hear about the power of networking all the time and how impactful it can be when it comes to finding a job. Well, now is the perfect time to put those networking skills to the test, with help from Jibe!
