While prepping for searching I read as much as I could in books, blogs, twitter chats and magazines, and were worthwhile. Often times I read on how to manage your time, but found very few useful tools to track that time, but I did find a book on highly effective job search techniques and it offered a time tracking chart, but I wanted something more effective, so I went ahead and built a workbook that is separate from my actual job search log to help keep my schedule organized and focused.
.
Job searching can get hectic and loss of track of time can be a problem, especially if you think you are putting all your efforts in a search. The log that was created tracks time for job posting, job research, resume building, social media time and more. I wanted to see how much time I am using versus wasting and helps with focusing on parts of the job search function I intended on. A graph chart helps me determine what I need to focus on more, or at least explains where I spend my time.
I never really used social media much until I started my job search campaign and realized I need to track my usage time, and schedule my time more appropriately.
An additional tool I use is a stopwatch timer for android tabletI downloaded from the google play store. It helps with keeping track of how much time I use on various functions.
