MAXX / Guides / A new grad job search plan that actually works

A new grad job search plan that actually works

From graduation to first offer: targets, weekly rhythm, applications, networking and follow-ups.

Pick targets, not one dream job

Choose two or three role families (for example data analyst, strategy analyst, product analyst) and a few cities. Wider targets mean more fresh roles every week.

A weekly rhythm

Every day: check new postings in your targets and apply to the best ones the same day.

Every week: tailor your resume for each role family, follow up on applications older than ten days, contact two or three alumni.

Make every application count

Answer the custom questions specifically, check what the portal parsed, and keep a log of where you applied.

Let software do the forms

Your time is best spent on interviews and people. MAXX takes the forms: it finds the roles, tailors the resume and applies for you.

Questions

How long does a new grad job search take?

It varies widely with field, market and timing. A steady weekly rhythm shortens it more than anything else you control.
