Managing your Job Applications……….
Nowadays jobseekers are applying to multiple jobs through many different mediums. As a result, they can lose track of what roles they have
applied to and where recruitment agencies are sending their CVs.
Why manage your job applications?
- It will cause problems with the agencies if companies already have your CV on file and it is also submitted through an agency. It will damage your relationship with your consultant and reflect poorly on your with the organisation
- It helps you track the progress of your job searching process. What medium is creating the most responses to your CV? Do you need to re-channel your efforts in another direction?–
- You need to be prepared for interviews that may arise. The job spec may have been removed from the web by the time interviews progress.
