The Table - Week One

Welcome to The Table, Week One

Friend, I am glad you pulled up a chair. Below is your roadmap for August 1 – 7. Bookmark this Beehiiv page and share it with an accountability partner if you choose.

My tip: block ten minutes each morning to read the day's prompt, take the action, and mark it ✅, ❓, or ‼ in your notes. Small, steady moves build momentum.

Week One focus: Set Up for Success, Ready, Visible, Active
Day 1 - Aug 1

Set your target job

Open a fresh note and write the exact title you want next. Example: Project Manager in Healthcare Technology or Human Resources Generalist

Extra Action: List two or three related titles you would also consider. When finished, mark ✅ or type "decided."
Day 2 - Aug 2

Build your job-search checklist

In the same note, list essentials: resume update, LinkedIn refresh, three target companies, daily search hour

Extra Action: Add the names of three companies you will research this week
Day 3 - Aug 3

Update resume headline and summary

Rewrite the top of your resume so it shows skill and impact at a glance. Example: Results focused project manager who leads teams of ten or more and delivers projects on time and within budget

Extra Action: Pull three to five keywords from job posts; weave at least two into your headline or summary
Day 4 - Aug 4

Lock in your job-search hour

Block one dedicated hour each weekday for applications, networking, upskilling, or follow-up. Treat it like a calendar meeting you never cancel

Extra Action: Create a simple tracker titled "Week 1 Search Hours" and tick it daily
Day 5 - Aug 5

Choose one skill to strengthen

Pick a skill that makes you more competitive, such as advanced Excel, Canva, public speaking, or interview prep, and find a free course or tutorial to begin

Extra Action: Set a mini goal, for example "Watch two interview prep videos this week"
Day 6 - Aug 6

Apply for one job today

Submit an application that matches your target or plays to your strengths. Progress over perfection

Extra Action: After applying, note one insight you gained from the posting, such as a new skill requirement
Day 7 - Aug 7

Catch-up and weekly win review

Complete any unfinished actions, then scan your notes to see how far you have come

Extra Action: Write down your biggest win of the week, even if it feels small
