Keeping a Job Search Contact Log

Job Search Contact Log

Keep detailed notes of each contact. When your search is concluded, it is a good idea to keep this log for your future reference.

Notes: Spoke to Ms. Johnson in Human Resources. They did receive the resume but didn’t give a definite date for a response. Received phone call from Mr. Doe. Interviewed on 11/14. Went very well. Compensation is a bit less than what I am seeking- will continue to look. Sent polite rejection letter- left open possibility for the future.
