When I first tried JJ, a couple of weeks into my job search, I thought I wouldn’t used most the of the features; after all, I was already very well organized. And I didn’t have time to add photos, and tags, etc. That all takes time to track! But after just a few days I started realizing that JJ was saving my bacon when I would have forgotten things. The more features I used, the more I realized they were useful to me.

So I started diligently tracking the information, but because it *is* time-consuming, I decided I wanted more accomplished than tracking my job search for a few months. As I collected information on my network contacts, I went “wide” — not just concentration on job search-related contacts, though of course I prioritized those; and collecting information that wasn’t immediately useful to me but I hoped would be once I was employed again; long-term business contact information. That has served me very well and I continue to use JJ every day to keep track of my project contacts.
