graduate job contact list
Some of you may be wondering what exactly a job list is. Well, it's a good idea! It's a list of all the contacts you make through your search for a career and it's designed to help you keep track of your progress.
You can never start this list too early - taking the contact details for your job list of your university careers officer or noting the name of the person you spoke to at a particular recruitment agency will save you time and money - you never know when they'll come in handy. You will be speaking to many people, so being well organised and knowing who you spoke to when will make your job hunting experience less stressful and more efficient. Encouraging your mates to make a similar list and then sharing the details can also save time.
Here's an example of a job contact list:

This is a very basic job list but you may like to include other details on yours, such as when you spoke to the person, when you should contact them again, what they advised you or notes on how their recruitment process works.
Make your list work for you - anyone you meet anywhere could help you find a job, so make sure you always have a pen and paper at the ready!
