1. A dedicated email for your applications and other application related matters.
Have a separate email for your application process. This way, you are able to respond faster and organize your messages better. This will also prevent any confusion between personal and other business mail.
2. Keep your email address and IM ID professional.
Keep in mind that you are using your email and your instant messenger (if applicable) for PROFESSIONAL purposes. So your email address and instant messenger ID should sound professional – preferably your name.
3. Join job sites
You should have an online presence, so you should join job finding websites, as well as build profiles on professional networking sites like LinkedIn.
4. Showcase you work.
If you can, have a website that shows your previous work. It is an easy way for prospective employers to check on your actual skills and what you can contribute to the job you’re applying for.
