Quick Tips
Dos & Don'ts to advance your job search
Once you set up an organization system, be sure to maintain it regularly. Refresh your files with updated resumes, contact lists and other documents.
 
Get organized
You may have a great attitude and the best intentions, but you're bound to be at a disadvantage if you're disorganized. There are some simple steps you can take up front to ensure you have all of your documents and information organized and accessible at a moment's notice. Keep hard copies of your documents organized in a tabbed accordion file. You'll want separate sections for your resumes, cover letters, references, transcripts, certificates and any other related documents. You can also use this to keep all the ReadySet HIRED! resources such as checklists and worksheets handy as you complete and update them. Store electronic files on a flash drive and keep them with your accordion file.
