Whenever I looked for my last job, I used a notepad on my laptop to make notes of the contacts I had made, the jobs I had applied for, what kind of custom resumes and cover letters I was using and all kinds of good stuff. Managing a job hunt as a professional is like being an account representative, salesperson, researcher and administrative assistant rolled into one. No wonder very few people do a decent job at it.
There are a handful of tools out there to manage your daily tasks but how about your job hunt? Myjobtips.com is a good start. Since so much of the job hunt has moved online, so moves your tools.
Are there any other tools that you use (or used) to manage your job hunt?

Hi Lance, just saw this post as I’m surfing around your new REHAUL site
Even though the post is 3 years old I wanted to suggest JibberJobber.com as a site/tool to help organize a job search. In fact, I launched JibberJobber just a few months before you wrote this post (we launched in May of 2006), and it is designed after the CRM tools a salesperson would use to organize their prospects and accounts.
So yeah, three years late but still a relevant tool
