One thing you want to finish this week (optional, stays on this page)

How it works

The five weights are shares. Your hours are divided in proportion, in quarter-hour steps, and the pieces always add up to your total.
The starting weights are defaults for each situation, not research findings. They say nothing about how many interviews a schedule will produce.
The activities are research, applications, conversations and networking, interview practice, and learning and skills.

What to do with the plan

Put the blocks in your calendar as real appointments.
After two weeks, look at your own results with the application-funnel diagnostic and change the weights.
