The truth is: we really can’t do just anything to get a job. We need to be strategic and calculated about whom we speak with, how we spend our time, and what actions we let take up time on our calendar and organizing it all can often be a challenge. Fortunately, there are tons of tools, apps, and technological options to help us save our sanity and our freedom!
