Job search documentation has many purposes. First, it serves as a quick reference guide of your job applications. This is especially true for job seekers who apply to every job ad available. Sometimes, this strategy can be confusing and to avoid getting lost, keeping a record of the companies to which you sent resumes is the most logical solution.
Second, it saves you time and energy when locating contact numbers of companies and the people you get connected with as part of your networking scheme. Documentation is not only a good way to enhance your organizational skills, but it also helps you focus as to which job application you should prioritize in making follow up calls.
