In general, searching for a job isn’t anyone’s idea of a good time. The repetitive tasks can make you go crazy. It's a seemingly never-ending process of finding new jobs to apply to, updating your resume for every application, tracking your progress for each position, attending networking events and sending follow-up notes.
Here are some tools to make the boring stuff a little easier:
Use VisualCV.com to easily create multiple versions of your resume
Use a free spreadsheet template to keep track of your application progress
Use a free/affordable CRM to manage your contacts
Use Yesware to track your email responses
Attend more interesting industry-related events you find on Meetup
