 Organize Your Job Search
If your New Year's Resolutions include finding a new job, you will want to go about it in an organized fashion. Keeping track of the applications you've made will make it easier for you to do timely follow-ups and ensure you don't apply for the same position more than once. In addition, if you're receiving unemployment benefits, it will enable you to prove that you are conducting an active job search.
There are a number of tools you can use to record this information electronically, including software you may already have on your computer, such as Outlook or other contact management software, a spreadsheet, or even a simple text document. But if you'd like to manage and track all the aspects of your job search in one location, you may want to check out Jobfiler, a web-based job search information manager.
Jobfiler includes all the components you would expect to find in a personal information manager, including a contact list, to do list, calendar, and bookmarks, but set up specifically to accommodate the needs of most job seekers. Because the information is located separately from your other information, you don't have to worry about temporary job search contacts getting mixed in with your permanent personal and professional contacts. In addition, since it's web-based, you can access it from your library or employment centre if you don't have a home computer or if you find it difficult to conduct your job search at home due to small children or other distractions.
The Jobfiler website also contains a lot of useful information, such as links to career sites and helpful articles, including The Organized Job Search by yours truly, which provides additional tips for organizing your job search.
