Job-management systems

Abstract

Computer implemented job-management systems for adding employment seeking features to a web browser displaying an online employment resource. The systems include a processor configured to execute computer executable instructions, a data storage system in data communication with the processor, and a computer readable medium in data communication with the processor. The computer readable medium includes stored computer executable instructions for the processor. The instructions instruct the processor to detect when a trigger event occurs, interface with the web browser to capture job data associated with the online employment resource displayed in the web browser when the processor detects the trigger event, and store the job data captured from the online employment resource in the data storage system. In some examples, the system further includes a server programed with instructions to send a notification to a user of the system based on scheduling data.

 detect when a trigger event occurs when displaying the online employment resource in the web browser; 
 interface with the web browser to capture job data associated with the online employment resource displayed in the web browser when the processor detects the trigger event; and 
 store the job data captured from the online employment resource in the data storage system. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the trigger event is an identifier identifying a preselected online employment resource. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the identifier is a universal resource locator. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein:
 the system further comprises a server in data communication with the processor;   the identifier is stored on the server; and   the computer executable instructions include instructions for the processor to communicate with the server to determine if a current webpage displayed in the web browser corresponds to the preselected online employment resource identified by the identifier stored on the server.   
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein:
 the processor defines a client processor; and   the system further comprises:
 a server data storage system in which the identifier is stored; and 
 a server processor configured to make accessible the identifier stored in the server data storage system. 
   
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the identifier is stored on the server as part of a set of identifiers identifying a set of online employment resources. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the server includes resource instruction data for a particular identifier in the set of identifiers, the resource instruction data including computer executable instructions for the client processor to interface with the web browser to capture the job data for the particular online employment resource. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the resource instruction data includes computer executable instruction for the client processor to identify a resource trigger action applicable to the particular online employment resource. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the resource trigger action is the preselected online employment resource displaying in the web browser a job description or that a user has submitted a job application. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the resource instruction data includes computer executable instructions for the client processor to identify target data embodied in the particular online employment resource. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the target data includes one or more of a job title or a job description. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the computer executable instructions include instructions for the processor to obtain updated computer executable instructions from the server. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the computer executable instructions stored in the computer readable medium are in universal format configured to be operable on different web browsers. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the job data includes the uniform resource locator of the online employment resource displayed in the web browser. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the job data includes information displayed by the online employment resource in the web browser. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the online employment resource displays a job form in the web browser,   the job form is configured for a user to enter information into the job form; and   the job data includes information entered by the user into the job form.   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein:
 the computer readable medium includes computer executable instructions for the processor to identify a resource trigger action applicable to the online employment resource displayed in the web browser; and   the resource trigger action is the user submitting the information entered into the job form.   
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the computer executable instructions further include instructions for the processor to display a user interface to facilitate a user using the system. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the computer executable instructions further include instructions for the processor to display the job data stored in the data storage system to a user using the system. 
     
     
         20 . A computer implemented job-management system for adding employment seeking features to a web browser displaying an online employment resource, the system comprising:
 a client computer including:
 a client processor configured to execute computer executable instructions; 
 a client data storage system in data communication with the client processor; 
 a client computer readable medium in data communication with the client processor, the client computer readable medium having stored client computer executable instructions for the client processor to:
 detect when a trigger event occurs when displaying the online employment resource in the web browser, 
 interface with the web browser to capture scheduling data associated with the online employment resource displayed in the web browser when the client processor detects the trigger event; and 
 
   a server in data communication with the client computer and including:
 a server processor configured to execute computer executable instructions; 
 a server data storage system in data communication with the server processor; 
 a server computer readable medium in data communication with the server processor, the server computer readable medium having stored server computer executable instructions for the server processor to:
 receive the scheduling data captured from the online employment resource; and 
 determine a reminder date when a user of the client computer should be reminded of an action item in connection with the online employment resource based on the scheduling data; and 
 send an electronic notification to the user directed to the action item on the reminder date.
