So what is the answer?
When you are unemployed or in employment transition, I recommend using both a digital calendar and a mid to large size day planner. Employment and executive coaches feel it is important visually to see your day/week plan. They agree it is important to keep a consistent structure while in job search mode. Treat your unemployment time as a clean slate opportunity to schedule daytime, daily job search activities and evening networking functions. Try and use two different pen colours if it is helpful. One colour to add in job search details, interviews or time blocking for research organizations, interview teams and any other preparation required.
