Multiple copies

I realized over the weekend that I had multiple copies of my resume' and cover letter in 3 different places. This was creating havoc for me and when I'd thought I'd made a correction it obviously was not corrected everywhere. So I've deleted the extra copies and left the originals on a flash-drive. I do have a back-up saved, but I won't be using that location for regular access to the files. I spent some time cleaning up the online postings.

I also started making more contacts with people in the industry via a referral list one of my instructors started for me. I already know a variety of people in the industry and these additional contacts just help me to get a better picture of what's going on and introducing myself to even more people. I received several good tips for doing this. Mainly to ask general questions to become informed and then to ask for more referrals. Finally to tell the interviewee "Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you." After all, I asked for their time and help.

Finally I realize that I am making many typing errors due to an old wore-out keyboard. Time for a new one. And just to be sure, I am getting some new reading glasses this week. Got to have good tools to do a great job!
