If you’re an introvert, like me, then maybe one of these apps will kick you into gear! If you’re an extrovert, then you love meeting new people and growing your network.

The app also allows you to trade digital business cards with people you haven’t met in person, and even helps you connect to new contacts via social media channels such as LinkedIn and Twitter. Just open the app and “drop” your business card the app uses your phone’s GPS sensor to determine the location where you dropped your card.

With CardDrop, you can create a digital business card and hand it out in multiple ways. And, naturally, there’s a connection to LinkedIn where you can invite them to join you. This app uses GPS so you can see where you met the person. With Evernote Hello, you can scan someone’s card into the app, then leave comments on how you met or some defining characteristic of their face. And with one touch, I invite these new folks to connect with me on LinkedIn. A few hours later, they’re transcribed into contact records by actual human beings (I wouldn’t want that job!). After I get a ton of businesscards, I take a picture of them with my phone using this app. How do you handle paper business cards after a networking event? Piles of them seem to fall off of your desk, and the new people never seem to make it into your LinkedIn network. Apploi also helps job seekers find jobs nearby and reveals the best applicants for employers through multimedia application questions. Would you rather ask someone if they can make a mojito, or have them show you a video of their skill? Apploi lets employers customize their questions so they can get to the important stuff, without wasting time on filling out the same old work experience sections over and over.Īpploi allows job seekers to save basic information to a Passport so they don’t need to fill out personal details, including education, work details and portfolio. This innovation threatens the very nature of job applications. This information can help you identify nearby opportunities, apply to them on the spot and even find nearby people to network with. One of the coolest features of your mobile device is that it knows where you are. (This is not a complete list rather, it’s a recommendation list.) ( Click here to tweet this list.) Below, I outline some of the more useful apps I’ve found.
