Create Your Job Search Management File

Business owners call it Customer Relationship Management (CRM). CRM systems help businesses manage customer data and interactions to improve customer experience and satisfaction. You can use the same concept to manage your job search and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. When you manage your search, you’re not shot gunning a resume. You’re targeting specific companies that you know you want to work for. You’re satisfied that their mission and vision are a match for your values because you’ve done your research. Keeping a record of your interactions with them is very important. Reaching your goal can be as difficult as any military mission. No one is sitting out there just waiting for you to knock on their door. It might take time and multiple tries to get the interview. You want to make the best use of every step you’ve taken.

You’re going to keep the same kind of meticulous records that businesses do. Everything you learn can be leveraged to help you get a job you want with a company that will benefit from your participation. Your follow through and attention to details are as important in your job search as missions you completed in the military. You’re not looking to take advantage of anyone. You have actual value to offer. The world will be a better place when you’re in a place to do your best.
