JSO Contact Manager
Since most jobs are found through contacts, rather than ads, internet job posting boards, search firms or other methods, it is critical that you develop and manage your contact network effectively. The JSO Contact Manager is specifically designed to do exactly that.
Not only does the JSO Contact Manager allow you to record all of the normal contact information for each person in your network, it allows you to keep notes on each. When speaking to a contact, he might mention that he has just submitted a key proposal to top management. If you make a note of that, you can easily recall it and, during your next discussion, ask him how it went. He will probably appreciate this type of interest in something that is important to him. This is the type of behavior that will differentiate you from others.
The JSO Contact Manager also contains a field to record the date of your last meeting with the contact. In addition, it allows you to create fields of your own. For example, you may want to note the name of a contact’s secretary. They can be powerful allies and, like all of us, they appreciate it when someone remembers their name. The JSO Contact Manager is searchable and contacts can be either exported or imported.
