How Should You Use This Resource?  
 

Start by reading the guide from cover to cover to get the full strategic picture of an off-campus job search. Once you have the big picture, you can jump into any phase that aligns with where you are in your job search. The phases are designed to be standalone, so if you’ve already completed some steps (like clarity on your role), you can dive directly into outreach or LinkedIn optimization. Be sure to actively work through the worksheets, updating them regularly, and revisit your plans each week to ensure progress.

Action Steps:  
 

1. Complete the clarity worksheet — Identify your target role, industry, and the type of companies you want to work for.
2. Build your target company hit list — Research 20–30 companies you’re interested in and break them into tiers based on your ideal job.
3. Create your LinkedIn outreach templates — Develop personalized messages for both cold and warm outreach.
4. Schedule informational interviews — Aim for 1–2 informational interviews each week to get feedback and build relationships.
5. Track your progress — Use the weekly planner to track your outreach and progress consistently.
