In the U.S., laptop sales grew 17.7%, while sales of desktop computers and servers fell 4%. The New York Times ( 10), CNET ( 10)

Desktop Computer Some employment experts say that less than 20% of all jobs are found through the newspaper or online, with the other 80% found through networking. Knowing this, decide how much time you are going to devote to your job search, then allocate that time accordingly.

Notebooks Define the steps

Lenovo Next, for each tactic create a list of the steps involved. Here is what this might look like for the "Network with contacts" tactic:

Hard Drive * Call the contact

Travelstar * Ask to meet for 30 minutes to get their feedback and suggestions on your resume as well as your job search strategy

Canon Create a schedule

Desktop Pc Now create a schedule of daily activities so that you are doing something with your search each day. A basic schedule might look like this:

Desktop Computers Morning

Think Pad - Call two contacts to set up networking appointments

Repair - Write questions to ask during each appointment

Data Recovery - Prepare resume packet for each appointment made

Cisco - Prepare and send resumes for job found online or in the newspaper

Keyboard Afternoon

Monitor - Attend networking appointment (if previously scheduled)

Desktop - Write thank you note following appointment

Infosys - Check one or two online job sites

Refurbished Laptops Weekend

Wipro - Prepare for new week

Lap Top - Check online job listings

Refurbished Track each activity

Memory For each tactic, track all of your activity. You can use computer software or a plain notebook with blank pages. The idea is to keep notes on each day's actions, checking them against your master checklist for the tactic.

Intel Let's use an example. You want to make a networking appointment with Suzy Smith, so start with a blank page and put her name at the top, along with relevant contact information. Each time you do one of the steps defined as part of networking (make the phone call, prepare a resume packet, go to the appointment, etc.), mark it down on Suzy's page. Note the date, time, action taken, and any notes you may have.

As400 Tracking your activity creates two benefits. First, when you have multiple activities happening at the same time it is very easy to get confused or lose track of steps that still need to be taken. Using your tracking log, it is easy to see at a glance where you are at with each activity and what next step is coming up. The second benefit is that it keeps you focused and active in your job search. It is easy to procrastinate and postpone looking for a job, but if you have to note daily activities in a tracking log you will feel more motivated to get moving and take action.

Averatec Action items

Hardware Finally, keep a separate list of "action items" that need attention right away. If, for example, a contact tells you about an open position at a colleague's company and suggests you call about it, this goes on your action item list to be handled within 24 to 48 hours. This list is a great way to deal with emergent issues and opportunities, while still staying organized and keeping up with your regular schedule.
