We launched applicant.com in January and since then we have come a long way. Over the period of 12 months we have created hundreds of articles and before we say goodbye to 2009, we thought we would round up some of them in a post. Applicant has been mentioned on many high profile blogs and sites this year including Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post and many others. We’ve had tremendous support from our readers as well as the social media community. Our friends and followers on Twitter, StumbleUpon community, Digg users and even Google’s algorithm has been kind to us this year.

Although the job market has yet to bounce back to where we would like it to be, the process is going to be slow. However, we are sure as months go by 2010 will be much better for all the job seekers out there. This post highlights some of the best articles on this blog from 2009. There are quite a few on this list since we churned out many articles. Please take a moment to go through them as we are sure you will find them useful (and some funny).
