Looking for a job? Yep, there's an app for that.
Stephen Covey, author of the best-seller, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and Jennifer Colosimo, chief learning officer at Franklin Covey, have reportedly
launched a
iPhone app,
Great Career, developed in partnership by FranklinCovey and Signal Patterns. It costs $9.99 on iTunes.
This is the first time FranklinCovey has brought its ideas to the mobile platform. The iPhone (

The app lets users access rich media content, combined with specific career-building exercises and other resources from the iPhone. Users can get research-based assessments help users to discover personality, strengths and career interests, or access the network-building and -nurturing tool -- 'enables users to take specific actions and track them to build and maintain their most important career relationships,' Covey officials said.
It also lets users submit questions to Covey and Colosimo, as well as get answers to frequently asked career questions.
Covey said the iPhone (

Colosimo said candidates who get jobs and keep them are 'those who continue to grow and develop.”
Earlier this week, HomeFinder.com, which connects home buyers, sellers and real estate professionals locally and nationally,
announced the launch of 'Open Houses,' which company officials describe as an iPhone app for helping home buyers find open houses and connect with a qualified local Realtor.
As one company official remarked, 'Mobile applications are best when they focus on one thing very well. Home buyers will always want to tour homes, and sellers and their agents will always want to be found. Our Open Houses app makes that happen without the clutter that plagues so many mobile real estate applications.'
