What are ways to have effective time management when a job seeker and student?

Setting 15 minutes a day is a great starting point, Mounia! The fact that you are consistently setting aside a particular timeframe to begin your search shows commitment. It may be a little tough, at first, to stick with that but it's a start. Balancing school and work is challenging and rewarding. Perseverence is key because you may not always get results. Stay driven!!! The world needs more like you!!!

Finding time for anything while you're in school, whether it's work, family, friends, or hobbies, is challenging. At the end of the day, I believe it all boils down to prioritization. You need to recognize that if you want to spend time doing something you are not doing today (i.e. searching for jobs, applying for jobs, interviewing), you will need to take that time away from something else. Maybe that means you need to spend a little less time studying (after all, a job is more important than the difference between an A and a B). Maybe that means you spend less time with friends, or that you have to study a little extra on the weekends, or cut back on your work hours, or give up watching movies or TV for a while. You have to start by saying that finding a job is one of the most important things you need to do. Make time for that first, then fit everything else around it.

<span style="background-color: transparent;">You have to set a routine for yourself and stick to it for the most part. Once you get into the groove of a routine it will be much easier for you to manage your time and have enough time for everything you need to do (including relaxing). Make yourself to-do lists on a weekly basis, use Google calendar or a planner to keep track of events, deadlines, and due dates. In addition to setting a routine and sticking to it, plan out relaxing activities into your day. Or set aside a time, after everything is done for the day, that you can have "me" time. I have also personally found it essential to not only find time for myself but also make use of that time in a way that is best for me and my holistic wellness. I have found the HeadSpace app to be an essential tool in helping me relax and generally feel more relaxed throughout the day, Guided meditation, even if you have a busy schedule, will make you feel more at ease and relaxed throughout the day as a whole (not just when you have the time to relax and focus on that "me" time).</span>
