Stay organized, keep progressing

To keep moving forward in your job search, it's worth the reminder now and then to stay on top of some basics:
1. Plan and organize each week and every day in it, blocking out time you are committing to yourself that you will work on your job search.
2. Build a To Do list of your top priorities to accomplish each day.
3. Work your top priorities first and feel the sense of accomplishment you get from crossing them off your list.
4. Move undone priorities to the top of your next day's To Do list.
5. Block out the time allotted to those priorities first.
6. Set goals for how many top priority actions you will accomplish (eg. will apply to 2 postings and add 1 connection in LinkedIn) during the time you allocate for your job search each day.
7. Reward yourself for achieving those goals.
8. Keep good records of everything you send out. I recommend a tracking/tickle sheet as well as copies of your actual cover letter attached to each posting.
