Hey Elpha community! I recently saw someone posting about how to manage the job search process while sitll working. Here are the top strateigies that can help you apply to job, will still busy working your current job!

1. Schedule time blocks during the week to apply (30min-2 hrs per day, minmum 1x week)

2. Create saved searches on Linkedin or other platforms so you can easily get back to the most relevant list of jobs

3. Reserve at least 1 hr per week to send new messages & respond to people on Linkedin/email to help grow your network

3. Take a few days off as PTO (2-4 per month) to really focus on applying to jobs and networking, doing interviews and resting

4. Check-in with your current network in your job or outside it, to see if there are any hidden opportunites

This is real! I remember working full time, studying for the GMAT and applying to Bschool! The pandemic/lockdown was the greatest gift because going remote allowed me to create my schedule accordingly while delivering. I will say now that we're for the most part hybrid, from a logistics perspective, it is a lot easier to apply to jobs and focus on other things without the team knowing it!
