Looking for Jobs Sucks!

So I took two days off from the job search to get my taxes done and now I am back on it and let me tell you I did not miss it one bit. I have decided to start keeping a log of all the places I have applied to and the positions as well as the job searches I have done on the internet including which search websites and keywords. I am hoping this will keep me consistent and lead to a systematic approach so that I am not jumping around trying different places and forgetting others. Hopefully if it's all written down in one place I can refer to it during the week as a kind of check off list. The one's I never forget are Craigslist, monster, careerbuilder, bajobs, and indeed. The keywords I usually use are music, customer service, dogs, library, books, bookstore. Then I can get more specific and list specific companies or organizations that I check individually. For instance, yesterday I looked into comcast, post office and PG&E, which by the way had NO openings in the bay area. Comcast had some but they weren't for customer service or anything, they were for tv production. Time for bed and hopefully in the morning a bunch of jobs that I am totally qualified for will magically appear on any one of these places' website. One can only dream...
