5. If you can, set your computer or get a program (i.e. Gator) that can help you fill out the forms by already having your name in the box or if you click on the box, you name appears in a list. For standard questions such as "what are your qualifications?" or samples of work, have answers prepared and saved in a word document. You can then copy and paste these answers into the online boxes. Be sure to check and make sure your answers are specific to the question being asked as well to the job being offered.
1. Bookmark all the job search sites you plan to use. Many are listed are listed here at the Telecommuting Forum at Suite101 so you can bookmark this site. If there some sites you use more than others, bookmark those as well. 2. Sign-up for email notifications or work-at-home newsletters that provide you with job announcements. If you can, set up an email folder specifically for your job announcements. That way if you want to go back and review a job announcement you can easily find it in your "Jobs" folder instead of scrolling through all your old email. Anther idea is to obtain an account at Yahoo or some other free email site specifically to use in your job search. Conducting the Job Search 1. The easiest way to search and apply for the most jobs in a single sitting is to have everything you need readily available. To start, open all possible file documents such your resume, introduction or cover letter, and stock application answers. 2. Check your email for new job announcements from job sites or newsletters. If you find a job that interests you, print it out for your records. Also send this email to your "Job" folder. 3. There are two methods you can use to handle job announcements: 1) you can respond to them as you find them or 2) you can mark the ones you are interested in and then go back later and apply to them. Personally, I prefer the first method, as it can be hard to mark job announcements in a way that is easy to find them again. Plus, I think you can send out more resumes in a specific time period by handling them as you come across them. 4. If you find jobs in your email, respond to them according to the directions the announcement supplies. Use the open documents to cut and paste your information to be sent. Be sure to customize the resume and other materials so that your application fits the specific job. Add a brief introduction to your email responses. Again, make it specific to the job.
