Saw a guy at my gym reading a notebook between sets and it made me rethink my job hunt
I was at the gym near my place in Columbus last Tuesday and noticed this older guy who brings a spiral notebook and writes in it between every set. I peeked (yeah I'm nosy) and it wasn't workout stuff, it was names and dates of people he'd talked to, like a job search log. I asked him about it and he said he's been tracking every follow up for 3 weeks and it's the only reason he landed 2 callbacks. What got me was that he said he treats looking for work like training, small reps every day instead of one big panic session. I've been sending applications into the void for 4 months with zero tracking and it shows. Anyone here keep a log like this, and does it actually help or is it just busywork?
