Weekly Breakdown:
- Monday: Review your current brand and choose one focus area (e.g., LinkedIn profile, resume, portfolio website).
- Tuesday: Create branding collateral, such as professional images, polished resumes, or personal websites.
- Wednesday: Refine your branding materials with feedback from peers and mentors. Begin light networking activities, such as connecting on LinkedIn or sending introductory emails.
- Thursday: Share your branding progress with the group and market-test your personal brand with feedback. Conclude with networking strategies and prepare for outreach over the weekend.
This track emphasizes building materials and developing a cohesive, professional identity, with light networking included.
Job Search Track: Job Search Stand-Up
The Job Search Stand-Up is designed for participants actively seeking job opportunities and focusing on researching, applying, and networking. This track ensures participants maintain momentum in their job hunt with daily goals and peer accountability.
Weekly Breakdown:
- Monday: Research new job postings, prioritize opportunities, and target specific companies. Learn strategies for efficiently reviewing and selecting roles.
- Tuesday: Focus entirely on applying to jobs. Submit polished applications for roles identified on Monday.
- Wednesday: Continue applications for top-priority roles and shift focus toward networking. Identify meetups, career fairs, and contacts within your desired companies.

This track emphasizes consistent application submission, networking, and building connections that lead to opportunities.
Shared Thursday Wrap-Up
On Thursday, both tracks come together for a shared wrap-up session to present their progress, exchange insights, and test their skills against community standards. This collaborative element ensures participants receive feedback and gain inspiration from peers in both tracks.
