Job Search Strategy

A great way to track your progress is to set up some folders and Google Spreadsheet documents. I'll tell you how to name them and how to track your progress. But the reason I recommend Google is because you can access Google docs from anywhere you are. You don't have to worry about carrying or syncing your work when you travel or away from your primary computer. I also highly recommend buying an iPhone and using some of the apps to track your self and to continuously check your email and the job boards.

The folders are as follows:

1. Target Companies
2. Active Jobs
3. Your Network list
4. Advertised jobs
5. Recruiters lists
6. Followups
7. Weekly plan
8. Resumes and Cover letters
