Post-It Notes

I've briefly said before that post it notes are great. But I truly mean it, the fact they come in all different shapes, sizes and colours means I can use them to organise and record key information. At work I have a notebook, the inside of the cover page and the back page is full of post it notes. Each one with a key prices of information on, same are pointers to remind me of log ins and passwords, other have important or regularly needed telephone numbers and emails. Some even have names of people - often forget peoples names. The different shapes and colours help me find the price of information I'm looking for quickly, my own reference system.

I often use post it notes to plan any written documents, write sentences or the odd buzz word I need to include. Then you can move them around easily to help contract the document. I've even done this when writing a job application, I wrote all the things I wanted to get a cross, my skills, experience, examples to demonstrate  how great I am! I stuck these onto an A1 board, stood back and starting writing. It was so useful I kept it, which was handy as I got a telephone interview and was able to use it again.  I took the call while standing in front of the board, therefore was able to remember examples, and guess what... I got the job!

That's my tip to you this week, when applying for jobs use post it notes!
