The Dubai Smart Government Department has launched the mJobs app on the Apple store, together with the Careers UAE 2015.

The mJobs app will feature government jobs in Dubai through smart devices, enabling fresh graduates or experienced professions to register for free, search for job vacancies in 18 Dubai government entities that have so far joined the app and at the same time apply for the job.

The mJobs app was implemented by the Government Resources planning Systems Department (GRPS) at DSG as a distinguished smart solution and app.

The app has both Arabic and English interfaces and  has many features including creating a new account; view available job vacancies; synchronise same account with DSG's eJob portal; search by department, publication date and keywords, add job vacancies to job basket to view and apply later; create and update personal file.

The app will also enable applicants to login using Facebook; share job vacancies through multiple channels; apply or share with friends, upload files, CVs and photos (from Dropbox or smart phone); view related notifications and track application status.

Ahmad Bin Humaidan, DSG director general, said: "The launch of this smart app is in line with the theme of connected smart services as per our DSG Strategy 2014-2017, which calls for government services to be provided through smart devices. It is also in response to our customers’ feedback and in fulfillment of the leadership's vision to contribute to the satisfaction and happiness of all those living in our emirate by bringing together as many government entities as possible."

Bin Humaidan pointed out that the new app would effectively contribute to enhancing the competitiveness of Dubai on all international indices, enabling it to become the smartest government regionally and globally.

"The GRPS team was able to carry out this project over a record time of two months of hard work which continued even on holidays, benefiting from the internal qualified technical and technological cadres without any technological support from any external parties,” said Bin Humaidan.

“Our launch of this app enables both cost and time saving. Government entities can use this shared service instead of creating their own, while job-seekers can use the app instead of approaching each entity separately. These type of smart services fulfil our objective of bringing happiness to people.  Based on this, customers can also express how far they are satisfied with the app by clicking the ‘Happiness Meter’ icon on the app page."

The app features many other services including information on the app, how to communicate with DSG and the websites of government entities. DSG also provides the necessary app-related support for the public round the clock through the unified contact centre. - TradeArabia News Service
