Recommendations for free job-search tools (update)

I need a résumé template that passes automated screening. I am in Tampa, in case local advice matters. A spreadsheet with dates and follow-ups worked a little. Are there tools to avoid?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Set a weekly follow-up reminder on your phone. It is free and effective.
