Assess Your Overall Progress
Step by Step
Step by Step
Look at your search holistically after 3 weeks Are you gaining traction? Do you have promising conversations in progress? Have you had any interviews?
Identify where you are in the process Early stage: Mostly submitting applications with few responses. This is completely normal at 3 weeks for recent graduates. The market for entry-level roles is competitive and takes time. Keep going and increase networking volume. Building stage: Getting some responses and early conversations. Focus on converting these into interviews. Active stage: Have interviews scheduled or completed. Shift primary focus to preparation and follow-up.
Adjust your Week 4 priorities based on where you are If early stage: Increase alumni outreach and networking significantly in Week 4. If building stage: Prioritize interview preparation above all else. If active stage: Manage multiple processes carefully and prepare for offers.
