The goal
Land a new job I'm excited about by the end of the quarter
Make it yours: change the highlighted parts, the numbers and the wording. In Ascanti the dates are set from the quarter you start in.
How you'll know you got there
A signed offer for a role that matches my target.
Why this works
A job search works like a sales pipeline. Sending lots of cold applications and waiting rarely works. This plan treats the search as a 90-day project: get clear on the role you want, build a short list of companies, and put most of your effort into introductions and interview practice, which turn into interviews far more often than cold applications do.
Milestones
One checkpoint for each month of the quarter.
- Month 1Target set: the role defined, a 20-company list and a tailored CV
- Month 2Pipeline full: 30 applications or referrals out and first interviews booked
- Month 3Offer stage: final rounds done and an offer worth accepting
