Keeping Track of your Job Search
It is very important to keep good records of your job searches. Employers want to know that you have
done your homework on their company before applying. They also want to know that you are
organized and remember the details of all the jobs that you have applied for. Creating and using a
tracking sheet is a good way to make sure that you are doing all that you can find permanent
employment.
It is a good idea to designate an entire notebook to a job search and use each page for a different job.
Below is an example of a tracking sheet, you can follow this format or create your own.
