This Notion template is designed to help anyone organize and manage their job search more effectively. It provides a structured way to manage all aspects of your job search, from self-reflection and research to tracking applications and preparing for interviews.

The Methodology Behind This Template

This template's structure and exercises are based on the advice from Never Search Alone: The Job Seeker’s Playbook by Phyl Terry. While originally written for product managers, I believe the approach is valuable for any professional in transition.

Here are the book’s main ideas in the author’s own words:

• Never Search Alone
• Candidate-Market Fit
• Play to Win, Not Not to Lose

How This Template Helps

I personally recommend reading the book and creating a support group (called a “Job Search Council”). That being said, this template was designed to help you complete the Never Search Alone exercises even if you do neither. It includes:

• AI Coaches: Each exercise page links to a chatbot **that will guide you through the steps
• Templates: Every tool from the book has been recreated in a Notion-friendly format
