Track Your Job Search Contacts

By Shannon | April 12, 2008

Whether you use a spreadsheet or a low-tech paper system, you need some kind of system for tracking applications, conversations, interviews, contact information, and so on, and for reminding you to follow up on your contacts.

These are the types of information you will want to track:

-Organization Name
-Contact Name
-E-mail Address
-Telephone Number
-Mailing Address
-Source
-Date Of Contact
-Description Of Contact
-Date To Take Action Or Follow Up
-Description Of Action Or Follow Up

Don’t try to just remember your job search contacts without writing them down or you might miss a great opportunity.
