Q: How much does the JobFinder for Windows PC cost?

A:  As of June 28, 2011, the JobFinder for Windows PC costs $19 when bought from MotionT.com.  This is a special offer price that can increase or decrease at anytime.

Please note you can also install the FREE JobFinder for Android or the FREE JobFinder for iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.

Q:  What happened to your free 7-day trial for the JobFinder?          

A:  If you came here from an old link, we no longer offer a free 7-day trial for the JobFinder.  At one time, the JobFinder retailed for $99.  We realized that was a high price to pay without getting a chance to try the JobFinder beforehand; therefore, we did a free trial.  NOW, with a lower retail price, and lots of resources (pictures & videos), it is not as necessary.

Q: Which career sites does the JobFinder search?

A: Honestly, there are too many to list here. The JobFinder searches thousands of jobs site for you. It typically depends on your zip code because the JobFinder will not just search large well-known sites, but the local little ones as well.  With that said, sites searched do included Monster, Career Builder, Indeed, Dice, Simply Hired, and more!

Q: How do I setup alerts via the JobFinder?

A: Email alerts are ideal for when you can’t be in front of the computer searching for sales leads each day; get new job listings straight to your email inbox. Alerts are available only on the JobFinder for Window PC (not JobFinder for iPhone or JobFinder for Android). Here is how you can activate email alerts:

• Enter in all required search fields.
• Check the “Ad as Alert” box.
• Hit the “Search” button to start your search.
• A pop-up will appear; name your alert.
• Click to run automatic searches once or at intervals.
• Click the “Alerts” tab on the left side of the program.
• Alter the intervals for automatic searches (if you want).
• Check the box next to “Send alert via email.”

Q: Do I need to activate all the search filters?

A:  No.  You can perform a JobFinder search with just a keyword (job title) and location.  However, activating the optional search filters will produce more targeted results.  You can pick the job sites searched, choose from date posted, search by job type, and more.

Q: Can I sort my results?

A: Yes, you can choose how your job search results appear on your screen. Your search results appear in the top frame of the JobFinder. Click on date, job title, company, or site to arrange jobs in order of your personal preferences.

To sort your search results, just click on a headline at the top of the frame. For example, I have opted to sort by date to see the newest job listings first.

Q: How can I store resumes and cover letters?

A: The steps for doing both are very similar.  Click the “Resumes” or “Covers” button at the top of the page.  A box will appear on your screen asking you to upload your resume from your computer.  You must name your resume and you can type up a short description.  Please click to finalize the upload and save your changes in the program.

Q: Why do I need to upload my resumes and cover letters?

A: You don’t need to, but there are benefits to doing so. With the JobFinder, you can apply for jobs via the JobFinder. When you apply for jobs, you want to send a resume and cover letter. By uploading these to the JobFinder, you can easily attach your resumes and cover letters.

Q: Why can’t I apply for a job via the JobFinder?

A: There are times when you might notice that the email address field is blank when using the JobFinder’s built-in reply. When this happens, an email address was not provided in the job listing. Review the job listing again and look for an “Apply Here” link; click on that link.

Q: Why haven’t I heard back from a job I applied for?

A: Your message will be sent should you use the JobFinder’s built-in reply. However, we cannot guarantee that you will get a response. Hiring managers get thousands of resumes and you will typically only hear from them if they decide to schedule an interview.

Q: Who can I contact should I have more questions?

A: If you cannot find the answer to your question here, please feel free to email us at mail@motiont.com.
