10 surefire ways to organize your job search

Here is the link to the 10 ways to organize your job search. There were many other articles i quoted from, but this is the main one i used in the class 9/21. I hope it helped at lease some of you.
The main point is 'get organized', 'make a plan' and 'JUST DO IT'. To get really good at something you need to do it at least 2 hours a day for several months. If you 'ACTIVELY' contact people, network and search for work like it is your job you will be successful. Good luck and be sure to call your ward employment specialist or email me if you need help. dennisgould@hotmail.com
