Job Search Organisation System

The useful distinction

A workable system has an intake, an active pipeline, a timeline and a regular review. It gives every new piece of information somewhere sensible to go.

A system earns trust by making the next return to it easy.

A practical workflow

Use the following as a working sequence, then adapt it to the companies and conversations in front of you.

• Capture new roles before they disappear
• Record process events as they happen
• Review decisions and next actions on a predictable cadence

Keep the system workable

Keep one clear record for the opportunity, its current stage, the people involved and the next action. That gives you enough structure to return to the search without adding ceremony.

Candidate keeps this context together so a useful update after an application, conversation or exercise does not need to be copied across several tools.
