CAREERS NOW: ORGANIZE HUNT WITH NEW FREE SERVICE

Jobfiler was mentioned today by syndicated columnist, Joyce Lain Kennedy in her "Careers Now" column. Kennedy has been an authority on employment for the last three decades. Her Q&A column provides advice on jobs and career development, addressing common work-related problems: demotion, layoffs, discrimination, specialization, keeping up with technology and networking at trade conventions. Here is an excerpt from what Joyce had to say about Jobfiler.com:

NEW FREE ORGANIZER.
A hard-charging job search generates scores of contacts each week. Effective follow-up depends upon keeping your records straight - contacts, names, dates, pitches, interviews, thank-you notes, previous follow-up and so forth. Accessible records help you maintain memory of resources where you've had better than average success - somewhat like finding a store that carries clothing you like and where you want to return to shop.
Until now, books with blank worksheets to photocopy were the norm. No more. I've been keeping an eye peeled for a free online and public tool (not a tool restricted to clients of outsourcing consultants or for-fee Web sites). Happily, such a tool has materialized: Jobfiler.com.
