The Job Search

Being organized will greatly aid your job search.

Here are some tips for an effective job search

1. Make a list of important things to do every day. Outline daily activities to look for a job.

2. Apply for jobs early in the day. This will make a good impression and give you time to complete applications, have interviews, and take tests.

3. Call employers to find out the best times to apply. Some companies take applications only on certain days and at certain times during the week. 

4. Write down all employers you contact, the date of your contacts, people you talk to, and special notes about your contacts.

5. When possible apply at several companies located in the same area. This saves time and money.

6. Be prepared. Have a "master application" and resumes, pens, maps and job information with you all the time. Who knows when a "hot lead" will come your way?

7. Follow up leads immediately. If you find out about a job late in the day, don't wait until the next day to call.

8. Network. Tell everyone you know that you are looking for a job. Stay in touch with friends and contacts. Follow up new leads immediately.

9. Read pamphlets and books on how to get a job. The time you spend reading these materials will save you a lot of time in your job search.
