Evernote for job searching

One of the ways I use Evernote is to organize my job search.

I dedicate one notebook to track jobs I'm interested in. The first note is Applications In, where I keep a table of the jobs I have applied to, when I follow up, and any additional notes. The top row looks like this:

I keep a list of sites and job search engines on a second note. That way when I'm looking for jobs online, I can simply go down the list to do a thorough search.

The third note has keywords I use. I'm looking for a position in marketing, public relations, or writing, so my keywords include those words as well as "communications specialist," "marketing assistant," "social media," and "media relations." Hiring managers use various job titles and descriptions, so searching several related keywords gives me more relevant leads.

The fourth note has notes about my portfolio: pieces I should edit, pieces that are tailored to a specific job, and notes about presentation.

Using Evernote this way helps me search for jobs efficiently.
