JibberJobber to Organize a Job Search AND to Help Entrepreneurs Launch a Business!
JibberJobber to Organize a Job Search AND to Help Entrepreneurs Launch a Business! Here is a great question from A.A.: I am a job seeker and I am developing a business. My business is very different from the job I am doing. I want to use jibberjobber to track both but I am not sure if it is possible to separate them within one profile. Can you advise? The short answer is, yes, definitely use one JibberJobber account to track both of these endeavors. Technically, I would use tags to help you keep the two separated. So, when you add a new contact, tag them as job_search or business. Or, you can tag them as both job_search and business. Ive found, over the years, that many of my personal and professional relationships are not constrained to just one bucket. For example, this last week I reached out to two long-term friends to ask for professional, business-related introductions. Also, I did not tag either of these friends as friends, personal, business, referral, or anything like that. Perhaps I should, but for now I simply have just created a Log Entry for each of the requests, and their responses. When their contacts reach out to me, I simply use the Referred By field to keep track of who introduced me to who that has proved to be invaluable over the years. In addition to that scenario, I track personal things in JibberJobber, such as who I call when I need an appliance fixed, or when my garage door breaks. I dont like having to track those types of people, but I do like having one place to store names and numbers, and even track when they service my stuff, and how much I pay them. JibberJobber has become my central information hub it started out as a job search tool, and for me very quickly evolved to a small business CRM and a personal business tracker.
