CareerWallet.net Deploys iPhone, Google and Android Apps

Tools give mobile users the ability to search and apply for jobs with their smartphone or tablet.

Petaluma, CA, USA (June 16, 2015) — CareerWallet.net, the innovative jobseeker website developed by Cross-Post LLC, deployed a new App today for iPhone, Google and Android users. The tools enable job seekers to search and apply for jobs using their mobile device, check out the latest career news and tips, or sign up for free and low-cost online college courses from schools like Harvard, MIT and the London School of Economics.

“Over 70% of our visitors are using mobile devices. It just makes sense to provide them with all of the resources they need to find great careers or improve their skill level to get promoted in the job they have.” noted Carl Braun, co-founder and CEO of Cross-Post.

New users of the site can sign up quickly with LinkedIn, upload resumes and cover letters, and create a professional, shareable online profile with a unique URL. CareerWallet.net is mobile-responsive and lets job seekers track their applications and opportunities on the go.

“It is an incredible time saver and a powerful tool for job seekers,” said Zach Chapman Project Lead and developer of the mobile Apps for Cross-Post LLC. “CareerWallet is perfect for early career or college students or individuals in job transition,” he added.

Jillian Phelan, VP of Human Resources and Talent Management agrees: “I believe that I am officially obsessed with Career-Wallet. I know, that sounds strange but (as I am sure you know) your product is amazing.”

CareerWallet joins its sister site, USTruckerjobs, in the App stores. Both sites’ user groups are uniquely mobile in their use of job search resources where mobile plays a key role. USTruckerjobs.com sees mobile usage at over 90% which makes sense, as Truckers find themselves on the road more often than not. UStruckerjobs also incorporates the Tracklet™ feature.

The CareerWallet and USTruckerjobs apps are free and feature rich content. You can find them on the iPhone Appstore, Android Marketplace, or on Google.

New App From DST Market Services puts Mutual Fund Marketplace on a Smartphone

“TreeSwing” Makes Investing Accessible And Fun For New Investors

Kansas City, MO, March 08, 2013 – TreeSwing is a mobile brokerage service sponsored by DST Market Services, a registered broker-dealer and member firm of FINRA. DST Market Services today announced its plan to launch a new phone application designed to put the benefits of investing into the hands of a wider investing audience, including those who have never invested before.

Available soon as a free download from the App Store™, TreeSwing is built on the idea that even the smallest contributions add up over time. With no brokerage fees, no minimum balances, and no required monthly investment, investors can contribute any amount they’re comfortable with—as little as $1 at a time, as often as they like.

TreeSwing will allow investors to select from a marketplace of professionally managed mutual funds offered by some of the top names in the industry. By keeping the marketplace purposefully small, using plain language, and providing independent data from Morningstar, TreeSwing aims to give investors an easy way to make informed choices.

According to Brian Smith, Design and Product Manager for the TreeSwing application, the app was created specifically to serve the millions of Americans who aren’t currently investing.
“I believe we’ve built something that will lower the financial, behavioral, and emotional barriers to the investment process,” says Mr. Smith.

TreeSwing will occasionally send encouraging notifications to users’ phones. These reminders are designed to keep users on track by focusing on investing behaviors, not market fluctuations, and by making investing part of life on a weekly, even daily basis. Optionally connecting an investor’s foursquare® account allows for location-specific pushes that help investors make mindful consumer decisions.

In developing TreeSwing, DST Market Services is able to leverage the considerable experience and infrastructure of its parent, DST Systems, a behind-the-scenes leader in the mutual fund industry since 1973. From its rigid adherence to mobile security best practices to DST’s state-of-the-art data facilities, the TreeSwing development team made protection of personal information its top priority.

TreeSwing will make its first public demonstration at the SXSW Interactive Festival in Austin, TX on March 8, 2013.
