2	The LAMP List is a tool popularized by Steven Dalton of Duke University. Before you start looking for jobs, spend some time brainstorming companies, industries, and fields where you would be a suitable applicant. A very important part of the LAMP framework is brainstorming, searching for, and developing people who might help you get your résumé in front of the "Person Who Has the Power to Hire You."	Track every job you've applied to. When did you learn about the open position? How did you apply? Did you ask someone who already works there for advice? Have you learned the name of the hiring manager? Whom have you spoken to, and when should you follow up with them? A job search can take a long time, but when things start to happen, you'll want to have the information you need to appear ready, organized, and responsive.	You can't just sit at a table spamming out job applications all day. You should set meaningful, attainable goals for yourself on and off the internet for meeting people, learning about your industry, and developing your network. If you are a remote worker or just a shy person, you might also need to set goals for getting out and socializing. Please try to engage with people as a human. Don't spam strangers with "where are the jobs?" questions.	The SHADE List is a tool popularized by Artie Moffa of University College Dublin. After you have received some rejections (it happens!), try to find out who did get hired. Assess your strengths and weaknesses compared to the person who got the job. Were you in the running, or is this person much more (or much less) qualified than you? Return to the job description to see if you correctly interpreted the "level" of this job.

4	Work this sheet extensively during the first week of your job search, then return to it once or twice per month.	Work on this sheet every day or nearly every day. Even if you get a few interviews scheduled, keep applying for roles. Until you have a job, applying for jobs is your job.	Work on this sheet 2–3 times per week. If you get stuck, consider adding or revising goals on your list. Meeting people and talking with strangers can be daunting, but it's important.	Work on this list once or twice per month. Remember to wait at least four weeks after a rejection before you go looking for who got hired.
5	Other than on this sheet, all names and email addresses are fictionalized. These sheets are a starting point, and you should adapt and change them to suit your needs. Different industries (and countries) often have different norms around hiring, contacting strangers, and asking professional colleagues for help.
