What is the best way to maximize my time this January/February? /u/imagineepix CSCQ protests reddit

Hi Everyone,

I am extremely determined and committed to getting a job this month. I want to know some do’s and don’t so that I don’t waste any more time because I’m worried that there might be better ways to go about my day.

Here’s a schedule I have laid out thus far:

I’ve devoted Monday job apps to apply strategically and network with friends and family. Additionally, I want to start working on a new project since it’s certainly been a while since I’ve committed myself to working on something exciting.

Some questions I would like to ask would be:

• Does my schedule look ok? Is there anything else I should be doing that isn’t already included?
• What is the best way to get the most out of the time I spend on apps? Currently, I mainly browse LinkedIn and Handshake. However, today I took some time to apply and cold email places on hackernews. I try to include a cover letter with every application following this template. Is this necessary? Even with my template, it certainly takes more time to include a letter than to not include one.
• Are LinkedIn easy applications worth it? With easy apply, I’m able pump out nearly 30 apps in 3 hrs but that being said, it very much feels quantity over quality.
• Finally, should I spend time reworking my resume lol.

Thank you so much! I am hoping and praying for my fellow spring 2024 grads 🤞 we got this.
