    When i was unemployed i would write things like 'Follow up with phone call' or 'Ask for feedback' after job interviews.

    Throw the book away and just write your job search down on blank paper.

    You do not have to use their booklet.

    It depends really.
    I like to have a little fun sometimes and hope they don't actually read it because I've written things like ' this is pointless, where's the rope' and 'off to make a well deserved cuppa'.

    Generally speaking though I leave it blank.:D

    'What I will do next' will go down as a 'What I did' Job searching activity on a line of its own if I actually do it.

    I always used to write "await reply", so that I could give that ridiculous box the disdain it deserves.
    If you don't hear back from an application then I don't see any point in bothering the employer. They clearly aren't interested.
