Organizing Your Job Search

 Organizing Your Job Search

While the task of managing your job search is challenging, you should not just search company websites, industry association websites, social media sites (notably LinkedIn), job boards and other related channels. You need to “manage” your search so you can easily track the following:

Job Title

Date Submitted

Company Name

Start-up

Enterprise – Level

SMB

Industry

Location

Contact Name and Title

Online source (i.e. LinkedIn; DMA.org)

Date of Follow-up

List of Documents Send to Hiring Manager

Known Contacts Employed at the Company

List of Pre-set Job Alerts (using from Job Boards)

Interview Calendar

This does not have to be daunting. You can use an Excel spreadsheet or Google Docs but there are plenty of websites (i.e. Jibberjobber.com; Indeed.com) that provides these services free of charge. There are also several CRM tools (Cloud or downloadable) that you can access for a nominal fee or even for free.

Whatever you decide – be comprehensive and stay organized. This level of detail will keep you motivated and focused on the task at hand.
