Job Search / Nokia’s New Toll: JobLens

Nokia is giving job seekers a new tool in their search for gainful employment: JobLens, an application that marries augmented reality and social networking with the goal of pairing employee-hopefuls with employers.

JobLens is similar to Nokia’s City Lens in that it uses Nokia’s HERE mapping suite together with the browser and camera on its Lumia Windows Phone 8 smartphones. Nokia calls its augmented reality suite LiveSight. With the app running, job seekers pan their phone around any given area and they will see what companies in the region are hiring, explore job listings and view the listings from multiple angles (street view and birds-eye view) for improved orientation.
