Why it works
- A job search is a job. Fixed hours stop it from expanding into anxious all-day scrolling.
- Networking daily is where most hires actually come from.
- Practice blocks build the record you can show.
Make it yours
- Show the work: after a few weeks your record (hours practised, streak) can go on a verified CV.
- Interviews booked? Replace the practice block that day with prep.
