Professional
Find a job – I have realized over the past few months I miss being part of a team. I want this to be my singular focus so all other things take a back seat. I think I have been doing too much cold applying and not enough “networking”.
- Success! started working WITH (not FOR) Applico at the start of October. Learned a ton about hiring that I’ll someday soon compile into a “Hiring is broken” blog post.
So the trackable goals are:
- 60 applications submitted
- Yes. Easily over 60 jobs. Probably close to 100.
- 60 asks for leads of people in my network
- I did this informally but did not track it programmatically
Continue to never have more than 30 minutes unaccounted for on the calendar
- Would say I was about 60-70% adherent with this
