Cool New Features

Cool New Features Weve been working on lots of new features that youve been asking for heres a rundown of what should be released today (youll know its released when you see the Search Jobs option under Jobs keep reading for more info) Update: The release was issued at 7:15pm MST: Add multiple e-mail address and phone numbers for contacts In preparation for the Outlook integration (we hit a delay on that project by the way, so it will be a while before it comes out) we had to make the user experience more inline with how Outlook works. Which is great because many of you have been asking for the ability to add more phone numbers and e-mail addresses to your contacts. Now you can! (there is a new csv download so premium users can import contacts with multiple phone and e-mail records Ill post on it later but here it is for now) See the box that says personal hotmail? That is something that you define you name the e-mail address whatever you want. Same thing with the phone numbers in this example I call it Personal Long Distance but you can call it whatever you want. Job Search DelightI recently talked about using BounceBase to keep tabs on blogs and news and now weve integrated the Bounce technology into JibberJobber which gives you amazing job search capability. Two things I want to point out: You can search over multiple boards at once. While this is similiar to using an aggregator like SimplyHired or Indeed, this includes a lot more. Im not going to claim that we have the most job results like everyone else does, but Im sure youll be pleased to see the results. Bounce doesnt just aggregate job boards, it aggregates aggregators. As with the saved job feed results, when you view these results you can add them to a job tracking record with one click. Heres how it works: From the Jobs menu, click on Search Jobs.Note that mousing over the main menu items will usually show a drop down of additional menu items. So just mouse over Jobs to see the image on the left. Youll see this input form on the left. Notice that all of the sources are checked feel free to uncheck whatever you want.You can see that searching across all of these sources should give you great results! The results show up on the right the Create a new job based on this info link will add this as a job record.How cool is that! You can also save these searches for later so you dont have to put the same criteria in every time. Other Stuff If you have tried to edit a log entry before it may have seemed weird. Well, it was. Its all fixed now and editing a log entry is as powerful as it should be. Thanks to Dan Johnson for the nudge! We added a no ranking on the rankings throughout the system (on contacts, companies, jobs, etc.). Before, if you ranked someone between 1 and 5 stars you could not UNRANK them. Thanks to Tige in Washington D.C. for the suggestion! Tige also submitted a few contact importing issues that we hadnt caught, and are now resolved (had to do with formatting as well as other stuff that you probably arent interested in). On the detail page we show you the referred by person that is, the person that introduced you to this contact. Before it wasnt a link now it is. Super-easy to implement for us but it should make using JibberJobber more streamlined with how it should be. Somewhere in our releases we accidentally took a page away (sorry, and thanks to Oleg in Ohio for nudging us on this one also) this mostly affects premium users as its one of the coolest premium features there is (imho). Now, when you click on Interview Prep youll see the interview prep dashboard, on the bottom right is the page to print of the interview stuff by category. This is very powerful as it allows you to prepare for two different interviews and have printouts of each one (without getting mixed up on what response is for big healthcare and which is for small high-tech startup). This was actually released a while ago but I didnt tell anyone. HUGE thanks to YOU for letting me know what enhancements JibberJobber needs, and to my team of development and QA ninjas for their excellent work.
