Technology has changed the job search landscape. Twenty years ago, email, text messages and your digital profile were not terms that you would associate with your job search. Today’s tools will remind you to follow up with a potential employer, help you focus or allow you to forward your business calls to your cell phone. These tools not only help you during your job search, but can ensure that you’re able to stay organized throughout the process.

Here are seven tools to make your job search more effective:

1. Letter Me Later. Want to send an email at 2:00 am and sleep in all day? Letter Me Later makes that possible. Set up an account and schedule your emails to be sent at a later date and time. This opens up a world of possibilities. Write emails and come back to edit them later. Make sure your email lands at the top of your contact’s inbox by sending them early in the morning. Schedule emails to be sent right before or after an interview. Forget being tied to your email. Letter Me Later provides flexibility for free.
2. Follow Up Then. Impress your next employer. Follow Up Then helps you stay in touch with your important contacts, without being overly eager or neglectful. For example: you’ve been emailing with a recruiter for a few weeks. They state that they aren’t prepared to start taking resumes for one month. In the BCC line of your email, write onemonth@followupthen.com and you’ll receive a reminder email one month later. You won’t miss the resume deadline and you won’t irritate them with a follow-up email one week later. You’ll receive unlimited personal reminders for free.
3. Ta Da Lists. Centralize all of your To-Dos. Send them to your email or access them on your iPhone. Ta Da lists makes staying organized simple. Separate each of your leads into separate lists. Searching for a job can be overwhelming, and keeping yourself organized can make the process less stressful. While the application isn’t revolutionary, it creates lists easily and well.
4. Highrise. Have trouble remembering little details about people? Make notes in Highrise, a piece of software that’s typically used for businesses who are tracking sales leads. Input contact information, take notes about each person and schedule reminders for each contact. Impress your potential employer by being prepared for your next call or interview. Use Highrise to keep all of the information organized and accessible.
5. Omm Writer. Focus— it may seem impossible during your job search process. If you need to write an email, cover letter or resume, eliminate distractions with Omm Writer. The program fills up your screen while playing soothing music or enforcing complete silence. It will ensure that you’re not checking social media, watching television or catching up on your blog reading during your devoted job search time.
6. Google Voice. Create a phone line devoted to your job search. Use Google Voice to create a free, local phone number. It will forward directly to your cell phone. Set your phone to recognize that your Google Voice number is calling, and you’ll always know when you are speaking to a recruiter. You can even create a professional, customized voicemail greeting. You’ll no longer have to worry about answering a phone call in an unprofessional manner.
7. Graphic River. Does your resume, cover letter or business card need professional design help? Using Graphic River and a few dollars, you can download templates that make the design process simple. Create an eye-catching piece of collateral without spending hours in front of design software. Design professionals are often costly; use Graphic River’s templates to make your job search collateral attractive while sticking to your budget.
