If you are in the market for a new job, free web apps are a great way to increase your efficiency while saving you money. With a growing number of free web applications, you can streamline your job search with applications downloaded right to your computer or handheld device. Here are three applications you should know about:

Thank you for the recognition – as far as I know there are a lot of similarities between Worksolver and JibberJobber – but you are right, either of these are essential tools for a job search (especially with an emphasis in career management).

Microsoft’s Office Live Workspace is a great way to manage your job search. There is a Workspace template specific to job hunting which organizes your cover letter, a calendar of interviews/follow-ups, resumes, job contacts etc. Because your files are stored online, you can access and make changes to them from any computer, or even share them with a career coach if you have one.

@ Jason — Thanks so much for stopping by! We love JibberJobber and are thrilled to be able to recommend it to our readers.
@ Jeff — Thank you for the tip on Microsoft’s Office Live Workspace. I’ll definitely check it out and add it to my list of resources.
I’m sorry, but Payscale is an awful website. Completely non-user-friendly interface, asks too many obscure questions. This is a perfect of example of a website built by programmers with NO input whatsoever from the business folks.
