Do you do a good amount of research for your job? Or maybe you’re still looking for that perfect position, but you can never find your place when you’re trying to return to the same sites and blogs. Here’s a solution to the mass of links you’ve acquired…organize them! Easy enough right? Well, it really is that easy. Create specific yet general folders so you have a place to save your favorite links.
[Cover Letters, Specifically Speaking]
Here are few examples of well marked folders, and some naming conventions to avoid:
Good
- Home Improvement Blogs
- Psychology Articles
- Office Computer Tips-Shortcuts
- Social Media Sites
- Higher Education Blogs
Bad
- Articles
- Cool News Sites
- Work Stuff
- Tools
- My Favorite Blogs EVER
You get the general idea. Be specific when you need to be, and slightly more general when appropriate. Create your favorites folder as you would if you had to create folders and files at work. If you’re not specific enough your co-workers won’t be able to find it, and you may not remember what you labeled it. Also, don’t create duplicate folders. This can be confusing, and cost you more time later sorting through the folders to find what you’re looking for.
