I’ve watched family & friends struggle when looking for a job for years:
- You find a job you are interested in applying for.
- Search your computer to find the latest copy of your resume.
- Create or Edit a cover letter or decide it isn’t worth the effort.
- Print or email the resume and cover letter.
- Start Again!!!
Does this work? It does work but what doesn’t it do? How many times have you received a phone call reply and had to search for the original ad (I usually found it after the call was completed). What did you say in the cover letter? How long has it been since you sent the letter? Have you applied to this company before? Can you access this information from the road?
My goal is to create a system to track and store the original ads, your resume(s), generate coverletters, and track the information about the jobs you have applied for in an online format.
