# The Job Search week

URL: https://gocutline.com/templates/job-search-week/

A weekly schedule for a job search: 90 minutes of applications every weekday at 09:00, networking messages at 11:00, skill practice after lunch, interview prep twice a week, and daily exercise.

## 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](https://gocutline.com/verified-cv/).
- Interviews booked? Replace the practice block that day with prep.

## Questions

**How many applications a day?**
Quality beats volume: a few tailored applications a day with follow-ups usually outperform mass applying.
