A program called GoodContacts is $50/year - it is a service for MS Outlook or MS Outlook express that will continuously go through your email address book and verify that the contact emails are still valid - and if not ,gives you an excuse to contact that person by phone and insure that they are still in your circle of potential networkers to help you in your search. Note : There is a 14 day Free Trial of the product From the product description:" GoodContacts Solo for Outlook lets you send "Keep-in-Touch?" emails to people in your contact list. The information you have for each contact is inserted into a customizable email template. When your contacts receive the email, they can confirm or update their contact information and return it to you. GoodContacts Professional automatically detects, authenticates and processes the update emails directly into Outlook." There is a ACT Database version of the product as well. # ( 6:53 AM ) axmc Phone/In-Person The P/IP score for this week is 4.95, meaning that on average, each PBJ member has personally talked with a human in the job search almost one per day for the work week. If you are below average - strive to make the number of calls that you need to hit 5 this week. If you are above the average - keep up the good work and inspire others. If you are right on the PBJ average .... why do you want to do that ? You are in competition with other candidates: can you afford average effort ? # |
