Keep good records
When you begin to seriously look for employment it is possible that you will prepare numerous, and different versions of cover letters, your resume and other documentation associated with your application.
Should you be invited to attend an interview, or an employer contacts you by telephone (with or without notice) to conduct a screening interview, it will be imperative that you are able to quickly locate and refer to the information you have given that employer.
A good filing system will assist you to do this. Keep a separate file for each job application. Include in this file:
-
The job advertisement.
-
Job or person specifications.
-
Any notes or worksheets associated with the position.
-
A copy of the cover letter, resume and any other documentation you send to the employer.
