My App Just Got Called a Game-Changer — And I’m Only Getting Started.

Hello Everyone!

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening (depending on when you read this).

I usually send one email a week but this is too good to hold back. Hopefully, you will think so too.

A mad scientist at work building new apps.

I am over the moon! For those who don't know, I have been quietly learning how to build apps and anxiously awaiting feedback on beta testers. The user feedback I received today has assured me that I am moving in the right side-hustle direction. Here are some quotes from a user about my "Invisible Job Market Detector" app.

❝

"But your tool is fantastic. It’s a game-changer if people truly realize the power you've put in their hands. I was able to create a much bigger search strategy and scaled up almost exponentially. I couldn't keep up."

And...

❝

"...this tool is still a must-have for me going forward..."

And...

❝

"I am going to use this until you turn the lights out, then try like a dickens to figure out how to turn them back on. I can’t go back to job boards or Google X-ray. Too icky now. :) "

Here is a quick description of the two apps I have available now:


App: Invisible Job Market Detector

Your Executive-Level Hidden Job Market Intelligence Analyst. Detect early hiring signals and translate them into practical job-search moves before roles are ever posted. http://invisiblejobs.jimstroud.com/


App: Career ROI

Get accurate, easy-to-read, and highly actionable salary intelligence for any job in any location. Don't just get a salary range—get a full career economics report. https://career.jimstroud.com/

I have been told that these apps are "ridiculously underpriced for the value they bring" but I am keeping the price as is for the month of December. After that, who knows?

I have more job search tools on the horizon and a special deal for those who join me on my webinar on December 18th at 7:00 pm EST.

See you later at the webinar! For now, back to the lab. ;-)
