Guide
How to use a job search planner
Job searching is a numbers game with long silences in between. A job search planner keeps every application, interview and contact in one place, so you follow up on time and can see progress even when replies are slow.
Set a weekly target
Use a goal page to decide how many applications, networking messages and practice interviews you'll do each week.
Log every application
The job applications tracker has company, role, date applied, source, contact, status and follow-up date.
Prepare for each interview
Give each interview a prep page: what the company does, why you want the role, your stories, and the questions you'll ask.
Keep up with people
The networking log records who you spoke to, how you met and what you agreed to do next.
Plan side projects
Use the project planners for a portfolio piece, a course or a certification that strengthens your applications.
What to include in a job search planner

See all themesHow do I prepare for interviews with it?
Each interview prep page has the company, role and interviewer, then boxes for what they do, why you want the role, your stories in situation, action and result form, questions to ask, how it went and your thank-you note.
Is it good for a career change?
Yes. Use the goal and project pages for courses, certifications or portfolio work, and the networking log for conversations with people in your new field.
Is there a free job search planner?
You can build this job search planner and flip through every page in your browser for free, with a watermark. The tabs and links work in the preview, so you can check the layout before you pay. The clean PDF is $12 once, or included in Pro at $49 a year for unlimited planners. There is no free download of the full planner.
Does it work with GoodNotes, Notability, Samsung Notes and e-ink tablets?
Yes. Download the iPad size for GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, Collanote or ZoomNotes; the Android size for Samsung Notes, Penly, Flexcil or Xodo; or the E-ink size for reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, Boox and Supernote. The links work in any app that follows PDF links, usually in read mode rather than pen mode. Every size is included in the price.
Can I print the job search planner?
Yes. Choose A5, A4, US Letter or Half Letter in the builder for a printable PDF with a wider inner margin for hole punching. Printable and digital sizes come with the same purchase, so you can use the job search planner on a tablet and print the pages you want on paper.
When does the job search planner start, and how long is it?
It starts in the current month and runs for 6 months by default, so you don't pay for pages that have already gone. In the builder you can choose any start month and year and a length from 3 months to 5 years, so something you're planning a year ahead fits too. Or switch to undated and write the dates in yourself.
Does the AI fill in the job search planner for me?
Only the goal parts, and only if you want it to. Type up to six goals and the AI writes a milestone for each month and a short action for each week onto your month and week pages, plus a motto for each month. You can edit every line before you download. Everything else, from the calendar pages to the trackers, is yours to fill in by hand. You can try it 3 times a day without an account.
How many pages is the job search planner?
With the default settings it comes to about 123 pages. That includes 6 month pages, 27 weekly pages, the Job Search, Projects & Meetings, Goals and Contacts & Dates pages and 20 notes pages. Switching off sections makes it shorter, and the builder shows the total as you change things.
Make it yours in about a minute.
Set your dates, device and goals, flip through the preview free, and pay only when it's right.
