2 Templates for Job Search Productivity

Here are some useful tools in the form of templates to help you manage your job search productivity.  Both will allow you to conveniently track resume submissions, networking contacts, interviews, and career websites.  One works in Microsoft Excel and the other in Microsoft OneNote.

It has been said that job search is a “numbers game” — that it involves many touch points to result in qualified opportunities leading to hire.  Managing those touch points is a process that can be made much for productive using the templates and their respective applications.

For those who are unfamiliar with OneNote, it uses the design metaphor of a tabbed, three-ring binder and can be used for taking notes, capturing web content which include hyperlinks back to the source page.  You can move, organize and search for content quickly and conveniently.  A very handy feature of OneNote is that it can be integrated with Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office applications.
