Once inside, we begin to configure our account, beginning by reporting the professional positions that interest us. Generally, the app will inform you of the positions that are already related with your professional profile.The second step is about marking where you would like to work. Simply mark the balloons and click 'Next'.

Now, we just have to see what offers we have available according to the application and the requirements that we have attached to it. We can apply for a position, directly, from the app, attaching a CV that we have saved on the same mobile. We will not need to connect a PC to find our ideal job.

In the menu you can configure the notifications of the application: if you want it to notify you when it finds offers for you, when someone sees your application, jobs that are about to expire and leave the application, etc. .

The main screen of the LinkedIn Job Search application is made up of three main parts:

• On the home page is where we go to see our recommended searches and jobs that might interest me. In the job description you also have the possibility to see how old it is and everything you need to access it.
