Gadget geeks all over the world are waiting for Apple's iPhone 5 announcement tonight. However, it's not only the new version of the revolutionary phone that is due to be released soon; iOS 6, the newest update to Apple's mobile operating system, is rumoured to be rolled out today.
Here's how some of its new features can help those on the job hunt...
5. Apple Maps
iOS 6 will see the Google Maps app, which has been bundled with iDevices for years, replaced by Apple's own map tool, complete with turn-by-turn navigation (similar to a Sat Nav) and real-time traffic updates. Perfect for getting to the interview on time!
4. Facebook integration
Similarly to how Twitter was built into the last version of iOS, Apple have integrated the biggest social networking service, Facebook, right into your iDevices! There's now no reason to leave the current app you are using to share with your friends, which means that you can Like a company's page from the Safari app, giving you more insight to how they operate!

The latest version of built-in web browser, Safari, sees the introduction of iCloud tabs, allowing you to move between iDevices (and your computer, if Safari's installed) and pick up your browsing wherever you left off. A very handy feature if you're job hunting on the move.
2. Mail overhaul
The built-in Mail app has been completely overhauled for the latest update, bringing a more streamlined design to improve reading emails and writing your own. The brand new VIP List feature can ensure that you never miss a reply from an employer or agency when they get back to you.
1. Do Not Disturb feature
It can be hard to concentrate on your job search when you're being bombarded by texts, phone calls and app alerts. The new Do Not Disturb feature allows you to put all of those distracting notifications on hold for a while, leaving you to knuckle down and continue the job hunt.

We've always found keeping fit difficult as it's always a lot easier to find an excuse. You could be too busy, not have enough money for a gym membership or simply can't be bothered. This new app, available for iOS and Android devices, is going to change all of that.
Imagine, instead of simply having a run around your block, you could be completely immersed into your very own horror film! Zombies, Run! provides a full story behind the undead outbreak, plays terrifying sound effects through your headphones and gives you missions which you'll need to complete to save your neighbourhood from zombie takeover.
It's easy to get lost in the Zombies, Run! experience, making this app a fantastic way to get yourself into shape in a way that's a lot more fun than hitting a running machine every week.
Though it may be pricey for a mobile app, that first experience alone is worth the price of admission, with the combination of exercise and fun making it one of the most essential apps released this year.
Music lovers, pay attention! Spotify, the world's most popular music-streaming service have finally launched their long-awaited iPad app, giving tablet users even more chance to listen to their favourite tunes for free!
If you've been living under a rock for the past couple of years, Spotify acts like a virtual media library, giving you access to millions of fully-licensed tracks from massive acts like Adele and One Direction, to smaller indie artists and labels.
The app itself is a huge step up from the original iPhone release, letting you browse through your top tracks and favourite artists slickly and easily. You could even use your iPad as a home stereo or wirelessly play your music through Apple AirPlay-enabled speakers!
