Save That Job Posting! 

You know the drill when it comes to targeting your documents to each job you apply for; however, saving the job posting is a lesser known pro tip that we hope you find helpful! 

Why save a job posting? Did you know that most postings will become inaccessible after the application deadlines have passed? You never know when you may need to refer back to critical information, like the roles and responsibilities of the position, salary and the skills of the successful candidate. Creating a file in Google Drive or on your desktop to save job postings that you have responded to is a quick and effective way of organizing this information so it’s there if and when you need it. 

While some organizations are very quick to make decisions on who to interview, others are not so speedy, resulting in some time passing before shortlisted candidates are contacted. If you apply for a number of positions and don’t keep track, you may feel unprepared or caught off guard if called for an interview. 

Your future self will also thank you for being proactive if you secure an interview. Not only do job postings inform the content of your resume and cover letter, but they also hint at the types of questions you may be asked in an interview.
