A daily planner for job seekers
A job search has no boss and no deadline, which makes it easy to drift. Structure turns it into a job of its own: a set number of applications, a set amount of networking and time for the skills that get you hired.
What makes planning hard for job seekers
No external structure
Days blur together and effort depends on mood.
Rejection hurts momentum
A few silent weeks can stop the whole routine.
Too much busywork
Endlessly tweaking a CV feels productive but moves nothing forward.

What to tell PlanBot
Describe your goal in plain words. For example:
I am looking for a marketing job. Plan a weekly routine with 8 tailored applications, 2 networking chats, 5 hours of portfolio work and 2 mock interviews.
PlanBot turns that into a time-blocked plan for the day, and you can rebuild it when something changes.
Three tips
- Set a weekly target for actions you control, not for replies you do not.
- Cap CV tweaking at a set time.
- Keep exercise and a finish time in the plan.

Frequently asked questions
How many applications should I send a day?
Quality usually beats volume. A few tailored applications per day, plus networking, tends to be a better use of time than dozens of generic ones. Choose a target you can sustain for weeks.
Can PlanBot write my CV?
PlanBot is a planner. It schedules the time for your CV, applications and prep, but it is not a CV writer.
How do I stay motivated after rejections?
Track what you control, such as actions completed and streak, and keep the routine going. A visible streak helps you notice effort even when results lag.
