One of the questions that comes up often when someone is job searching is how to keep track of everything you do - the resumes you have sent, the people you have networked with, when you are scheduled to interview, and the thank you and follow-up letters you've sent. I've seen it done via spreadsheets and contact managers, as well as the old-fashioned way - with pen and paper. All of which are a pain in the neck and cumbersome, at best!

Now, there's a more effective way of managing your job search. JibberJobber provides an easy way to keep track of all of the information that you collect during a job search. Track where you have sent your resumes, the jobs you apply for, and log the status of each job as you proceed through the hiring process. In addition, you can track your personal networking contacts and keep a log of how they have helped you, as well as connect with them on LinkedIn.

Another reason that JibberJobber is useful is because it allows you to manage and track important relationship information over time. Most people change jobs every few years, and keeping your JibberJobber account up-to-date with information on your contacts and companies will help you on an ongoing basis as you build your career. You'll also be well positioned for your next job search, without having to start from scratch.

This is an excellent resource for anyone who gets overwhelmed by managing job search information - it's easily accessible online and simple to use. The basic version is free (premium features like expense tracking are available for a fee) so it's an excellent tool for getting and staying organized.
