Job Search step five: Keep track and follow-up

 A good and successful job search should keep track of all contacts/interviews you make. You can track the information in a contact manager that comes bundled with most computers or use index cards or plain old paper and pencil. Keep track of whom you called or which recruitment agency called you, their contact numbers, whether you sent a resume, what you talked about, and whether you got new leads. It's just another way to keep them thinking about you.

If you have obtained Australian Citizenship, you should be able to ask assistance from Australian Government Department called Centrelink and the URL of the department is:

The old adage "looking for a job is a full-time job" is certainly true. However, if you're organized, systematic, and realize that the more people who know you're available the better, you'll be in your new job before you know it.

Here is some of the information you can track:

• Names of contacts
• Deadlines
• Actions taken and their results
• Information about prospective employers
• Copies of applications you have submitted
• Copies of cover letters you have sent
• Copies of job listings / descriptions / ads

Even if you already found your job, we still suggest not to give up looking for the another job which might suit you better. If you not positively seek new job which may suit you better, perhaps you can when suddenly lose the work is caught off guard.
