Hands-on with Nokia JobLens on the Lumia 925: what a way to make a living

It's essentially a proximity-based job searching tool that, in the lens mode, is much like the CityLens AR app for Lumias, and points you in the direction of your next potential employer using icons on top of the realtime camera view. In another mode, JobLens uses the Here Maps platform to show you a top-down view of openings in your vicinity, and can subsequently direct you to your interview on time. From either views, you can poke at vacancies to see more about the job and share it, email it to yourself, or respond directly with a CV -- various sites populate the in-app listings. The software also integrates with Facebook and LinkedIn so you can hit up your contacts for the inside track. No word on a release date yet, but we imagine it'll coincide with the Lumia 925 launch. As they say, it's who you know that counts, and now we know Matt from Nokia, who treated us to a quick tour of the app in the video after the break.</div><div class="p1" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><b>Update:</b> we've been having trouble with the video -- it works on some devices and not others. It may work for you right now, but if not -- we're working on a fix.</div><div class="p1" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><b>Update #2:</b> This should now be working for everybody.
