Set Your Week 2 Goal

Complete these steps
Look at what Week 2 involves Week 2 is when we start direct outreach to hiring managers, increase your application volume, and deepen your networking. It is where momentum really starts to build.
Write one specific measurable goal for Week 2 Examples:
"I will submit 10 applications and reach out to 3 hiring managers directly"
"I will have 2 networking coffee chats scheduled by the end of the week"
"I will apply to at least 2 companies from my target list"
Write it somewhere visible Put it on a sticky note on your monitor, set it as your phone wallpaper, or write it in your Rising Careers tracker. You should see it every day next week.
Tell someone your goal Accountability partners dramatically increase follow-through. Tell a friend, family member, or post it in an online community.
