• the trello board will be good for keeping track of who I have spoken with, where i have applied/interviewed/ any follow up needed and to help track companies I am interested in.
• I also have been researching companies on linkedIn/Built In/Angel list and Indeed just to see the companies who are hiring and then trying to learn more about them.

Cold Outreach/Network:

Who will you reach out to? Have you considered talking with alumni about their own networking practices when they started their job search?

• Attend more networking/meetup events
