Targeted List Spreadsheet

As you begin your job search you should plan your approach. Who will you be contacting? Why will you be contacting them? You should have questions like these answered before you submit your first resume. You also shouldn't be so narrow in your search  that you only reach out to a handful of companies.

Below is a document to help you in planning your search. There are 40 lines because you should reach out to at least 40 companies. Remember, 85% of all jobs are filled outside of the want ads. You're only going to find these positions if you're looking everywhere. Also make sure  that you plan when you will be contacting the company. It's too easy to let distractions interrupt your call plan. 

Fill this sheet out and then assess how your current job search looks. Should you expand your search criteria? Should you try reaching out to someone again?
