Organizing Your Job Search
You’ve been applying to a lot of jobs lately and it’s difficult to keep track of all the job leads. The phone rings and Company A calls you for an interview. Great! Wait…who’s Company A again? What was the job?
It can happen to the best of us. You get so caught up with your job searching activities that you forget to organize all of your leads and make the appropriate notes. When the time comes for an interview, you might have a difficult time finding out what position you applied for and all the pertinent information that goes along with it.
Whenever you apply for a job, be sure to save what you sent them. This includes your cover letter, resume, job posting and any other important notes that you have taken about that particular position. As you follow-up, keep notes of who you talked to and when. It’ll help you be more efficient and organized.
It’s also a good idea to be prepared every time you answer the phone. Have something around that you’ll be able to take notes with. You don’t want to be caught unprepared; you’ll need to write down the date and time of your interview. 
When you’re searching for a job, you have to be organized. Keep your documents together, be prepared at all times and you’ll find that a little organization goes a long way to getting a new job.
