Build momentum: a weekly pipeline rhythm that stops ghosting

Consistency beats intensity

A great job search is boring—in the best way. You sit down each week, you move a few roles forward, and you follow up on what you already started. No frantic bursts. No week‑long gaps that turn warm leads cold. A simple rhythm keeps you top of mind and reduces the sting of ghosting.

A weekly cadence that works

Monday: Plan the week. Pick 3–5 target roles, write one tailored application, and schedule follow‑ups. The goal isn’t volume—it’s momentum.

Wednesday: Light touch follow‑ups. Send a brief note to recruiters or hiring managers you’ve already met, and surface one proof point tied to their priorities.

Friday: Review the pipeline. Close dead ends, move roles forward a column, and jot quick notes while details are fresh. Small, steady progress beats feast‑or‑famine.

Keep your energy focused

• Limit new applications to the roles you’d say yes to if they moved fast.
• Batch similar tasks (research, outreach, forms) to avoid context switching.
• Write notes immediately after every conversation. Future‑you will thank you.
