Stacks – Groups of Notebooks. I think of these as filing cabinets where I group my Notebooks

Notebooks – I think of these as file folders in an old school paper filing cabinet

Tags/Tag Trees – these little words are like keywords that you assign to your notes once they are created

Search – like Google – if you have a note with that word in your account it pulls up that note


What is a Tag?◦ Keyword/label describing the note◦ Identifies a specific attribute (Meta Data)◦ Used to find notes with common attribute

Identify common searchable attributes


Job Description◦ Attributes: note identity, location, company

name, industry, salary, work flow status, conections

◦ Tags: Job Description, Columbia, Sourcefire, Cyber Security, 100, Interested, Jeff Davis


Techniques for organizing an efficient job campaign


Create search agents to identify interested job descriptions (Indeed, target companies, USAJobs, Dice, etc

Evaluate daily emails to identify positions of interest

Use Web Clipper to capture job descriptions Tag Job descriptions with (Job Description,

company name, city, work flow status)◦ Interested->resume submitted->active->inactive

Move applications from interested to inactive

90 second explanation of “Tell me about yourself” Answers to behavioral interview questions Requirements matrix Company research Job description

Interview Desktop Notes◦ Tags: Resume, Cover Letter, company name, Interviewing Questions◦ Notes:

Are my notes secure?


Requires you to provide a unique verification code in addition to your username and password

There are two ways to generate verification codes:◦ Via text message to your cell phone◦ Using a verification code generating app on your

mobile device, such as Google Authenticator.


Enter your Evernote username and password

When prompted to "Enter Code" click "I need help getting a verification code." Enter one of these two codes:◦ Use a Backup Code that you printed out when you

set up two-step verification.◦ Send a verification code to the backup phone

number.


Evernote’s 3 Laws of Data Protection◦ Your Data is Yours

[Blog Post] We do not own your data. Putting notes and other content into Evernote does not change its ownership or copyright status. If the data was yours to begin with, it remains yours after you put it in Evernote.

◦ Your Data is Protected [Blog Post] Everything you put into Evernote is private by default. We

never look at it, analyze it, share it, use it to target ads, data mine it, etc.–unless you specifically ask us to do one of these things. Our business model does not depend on “monetizing” your data in any way. Rather, it depends on building trust and providing a great service that more and more people choose to pay for.

◦ Your Data is Portable [Blog Post] There is no data-lock in Evernote. We are committed to

making it easy for you to get all of your data into, and out of, Evernote at any time. Our desktop software lets you export all of your notes and content in human-readable HTML as well as a fully documented machine-readable XML format.


How Secure is My Data?Evernote is committed to protecting the security of your information and takes reasonable precautions to protect it. However, Internet data transmissions, whether wired or wireless, cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure and as a result we cannot ensure the security of information you transmit to us; accordingly, you acknowledge that you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your data transmission, we make all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems:

Your Evernote password is protected by encryption and only you have access to it;

Your personal information and data stored in our systems is protected by various physical, electronic and procedural safeguards. It is housed in secure facilities, and Evernote restricts physical and network access to these facilities to select trained staff. We regularly evaluate our technologies, facilities, procedures and potential risks to maintain the security and privacy of our users’ data.

Certain Evernote services support the use of standard SSL encryption to protect data transmissions. However, this is not a guarantee that such data transmissions cannot be accessed, altered or deleted due to firewall or other security software failures.


Do not store sensitive information in Evernote unless you use the “Alternative Encryption Method” below

User Auth (username & password) transferred via SSL Data in user notes transferred via SSL Encrypt selected text

◦ 64-bit RC2 key derived from passphrase◦ Some question as to if this is sent to Evernote server encrypted

Alternative Encryption Method◦ For PC/Mac only use Local Notebook Storage (No Evernote Syncing to

server or enabled devices)◦ Install Dropbox on your PC ◦ Add a Second Layer of Encryption to Dropbox

Use Viivo to encrypt your files automatically on your PC BEFORE syncing with Dropbox. (256-bit AES encryption)

Viivo installs on your PC and creates another Dropbox folder that encrypts all the files in it.

Configure Evernote local files to a folder in Viivo folder


Store everything in Evernote


Evernote is an effective tool to organize your job campaign

Many methods to capture campaign notes Tags are key to organizing and finding your

data Different workflows can help you stay on

track with job applications and Interview prep

Do not store sensitive information in Evernote unless you use the “Alternative Encryption Method”
