3. JobAware — Want to take full advantage of your job search network? By offering LinkedIn account integration and allowing you to discover jobs via LinkedIn, JobAware can help. “If a job looks like it could be right for you, you’re given the option of searching more jobs by that company, viewing the source, sharing the job (via email, Twitter, or Facebook), and tracking the job,” stated TopResume.
