How $2.00 can save your Job Search

One of the most important investments you can make in your job-search is a notebook where you document everything you do. The better organized and documented your search the likelier you are to be successful. To read the full article, see the link below.
- Track your résumé / application submissions. You don't want to appear desperate by sending your resume to the same company multiple times or to get blacklisted by doing so.
- Track who you are networking with and what the outcome was.
- Track relevant information that you receive. All information that you receive that can further your search (websites, information collected, tips and tricks, etc) should be documented so that you can refer to it later.
- Keep an ongoing list of your top potential employers. This list gives you a goal to work towards, gives you a target for networking, and gives you an idea of how to spend your time.
- Document all of your interview prep and post-interview notes. This will help you keep track of your progress on a particular job opportunity and can prepare you for future interviews.
- Keep up with your job-search to-do list and top priorities. Document things that need to be done and check them off as you go so you are sure not to miss anything. Did you send that Thank You note? Did you follow up with the list of References or Transcripts that they requested?
