How do you stay organized during a job search?

Share your tips for keeping track of applications, interviews, and follow-ups.

To stay organized during my job search, I create a detailed plan and track my progress. I use a spreadsheet or a job search app to log my applications, including company names, positions, dates applied, and follow-up actions. I set aside specific time blocks each day for job searching, networking, and improving my skills. I also keep my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile updated and tailor them for each application. By staying organized, I ensure I don’t miss any opportunities and maintain a structured approach to finding a job.

Hi Englishteacherandlea,

Thank you for sharing your wonderful executive functioning skills as applied to the job search process! If you are indeed a teacher (as your handle implies) I would bet that your students benefit from your organized approach to what could seem an overwhelming task (teaching) and you are a great role model.
