Spray-and-pray applications burn you out and rarely convert. A focused hour a day beats scattered, anxious effort - here's the routine.
The hour, broken down
- 15 min - Find: shortlist 2-3 genuinely good-fit roles.
- 30 min - Apply: tailor your resume and note, then submit.
- 15 min - Connect: one referral request or follow-up message.
Make it stick
- Batch similar tasks so you're not context-switching.
- Track every application so you learn what works.
- Protect the hour - same time daily, distractions off.
