Dubai Smart Government Department (DSG) has announced the launch of the android version of its smart app, mJobs, on Google Play Store.

Now customers can access the iPhone and Android versions from their respective stores, said a statement from DSG.

Multiple services include creating accounts, or login by Facebook, updating profiles, customized search, sharing job vacancies with friends, easy upload of CV from cloud-based Dropbox or smartphone, viewing notifications and tracking application status. The same smartphone account can also be used to login to the DSG job portal www.ejob.ae

Both sets of customers can access the latest job postings from 20 Dubai government entities on their smartphones, it added.

Ahmad Bin Humaidan, the DSG director general said: "The manner in which the mJobs smart app has been designed aligns with the theme of the connected smart services of the DSG Strategy 2014-2017, which requires government entities to unify their services to enable customers to have easy and fast access through their smart devices."

"It is based on our customers’ feedback received through various surveys and on our belief in the importance for Dubai government entities to combine efforts to ensure the fulfillment of the leadership's vision of meeting all the requirements that contribute to the satisfaction and happiness of all those living in our emirate and country and dealing with our government entities inside and outside the UAE," he added.

Launched by DSG last month, mJobs is attracting a larger turnout with more people interested in downloading the app and applying through it for Dubai Government's job vacancies, said the statement.

The app has been downloaded 21,000 times since it was launched. As many as 4800 people registered in the app by creating new accounts over the same period, while 27,000 applications were submitted for the announced job vacancies, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
