Mobile phones become more and more sophisticated. That is why Deloitte Holland created a new software application that makes it possible to receive job offers and to apply directly. This makes Deloitte the first one to do this. A good anticipating on the market, if you ask me.
When you shake your mobile, you can see the vacancy in a wider area around your neighbourhood. The application has received the suitable name ‘Shake your Job’. The day after launch, the application was used 178 times. The intervention of a computer is not needed. But on the other hand, I read on other blogs that ‘Shake Your Job’ has a lot of growing pains.
‘Shake your Job’ can only be used by owners of an Iphone or an Ipad. You might think that this is a narrow public, but analysis tells us that in 2014 the half of the mobile phones will be having internet.
Lennart Sloof of Deloitte strongly believes that well educated people will use this application. This is logical, only people with a good education will apply for a job by Deloitte. Sloof also ensured that the supply will increase the demand by offering mobile job announcements, but I am not sure about this. The demand will not automatically increase as the supply increases.
Applying mobile is a good alternative: easier and always available. I expect that this will be a normal thing in the future. But I still prefer a computer!

It is indeed a good alternative but it still has to be an extra option. It can’t be fully replaced by a computer. A computer is still safer than a mobile (for example: the mobile phone is smaller than a computer, so you can lose it easily and if the mobile phone becomes more important you have to pay more attention that you don't lose it).
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI agree with Lynn. 'Shake your Job' is a good initiative, but a computer stays a better medium.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOnly people who can permit an iPhone or an iPad can use 'Shake your Job', and that is also a disadvantage.
