Track Your Job Search

Track your job search as you go along so you can easily find contact names, positions and companies. Use a log book or computer spreadsheet so you don't lose valuable time and contacts. You can also use this to revisit old job submissions to follow up on. It might seem unimportant now but in the long run it might just come in handy when you least expect it. This can ultimately be used as a reference for future job searches too.

LinkUp

Take a look at the job search engine LinkUp which features jobs directly from companies, always current and often some that are unadvertised anywhere else.
