Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was wasting a lot of time and effort and was needing a way to automate my job searching. I came across an Ad for JobSearch doing a Google search. After reading the description and testimonials on ButterflyVista's website I decided to give JobFish a try and purchased it.
After an easy install I noticed right away that Jobfish's User Interface looked almost deceptively simple and easy. However just like Google it hides a lot of complexity and power under it's hood. I should mention that it is a good idea to take a little time to read the help documentation before starting. A lot
of my questions were answered there.
It came to pass that it was necessary to contact technical support. The issue before me was an apparent conflict with my McAfee Anti-Virus. McAfee didn't like one of JobFish's DLL's. I wasn't put off by this. Rather I was curious what the support would be like. ButterflyVista doesn't offer telephone support. Rather it's an email based system. I was apprehensive at first. But I got a response the very same day.
From that point on the support people at ButterflyVista worked persistently and diligently in helping me isolate the cause of the issue.
As mentioned McAfee wasn't playing nice with one of the Jobfish application's DLL's. The problem was resolved several builds later with a version of the DLL
compatible with McAfee. There were 1 or 2 other small technical issues which the ButterflyVista staff helped me with immediately. Since then the Jobfish Application has been working great ever since.
Function wise JobFish 2010 rocks. After doing a preferences setup, Jobfish got right down to business downloading Job classifieds off of the major job boards like [...] even Craigslist.
In a short time I was neck deep analyzing job descriptions, processing and despatching resume's and cover letters. Job Fish makes use of Outlook or other popular email clients to send out resume's. I haven't tried it yet but I believe it's also be possible to use a direct Pop Server hookup such as those provided by Yahoo or Gmail and possibly use less resources. Speaking of customizations. I liked the fact that Jobfish offers multiple color themes or skins. A nice touch.
The basic impression that I get with this program is that the people who wrote it really care deeply about quality and service. It seems that they have been in the shoes of fellow job seekers themselves and were sympathetic to peoples needs. There are a number of thoughtful features. Sometimes you don't even know they're there until you need them. On my wish list I would hope one day to see the equivalent of speed keys to help a user quickly get to essential features such as note taking on important calls or recording contact info.
For anyone looking for a way to efficiently and methodically look for work and Network with contacts I would say that JobFish 2010 is best of breed. I'm glad I took the plunge and am quite satisfied with my purchase.
