Michael, a GTD fan in the community, shared about using GTD for a job search.
“It really amazed me how well, with a few modifications, the GTD system could handle the job search.”
We’ve also heard from people using GTD on their resumes. Have you? What would you say about your GTD skills that would stand out to prospective employers? Leaps long lists in a single bound… Inbox to zero on a regular basis… Will actually capture what you ask me to do…. ?
I was laid off several days ago. The irony was I spent the week before using my vacation time to implement GTD. Although I haven’t fully implemented GTD, the natural thing for me to do was immediately add “Secure employment” as a project. My next action was to organize the project, and as a result I captured my first actions. I have no doubt that using GTD in job search is like having a life preserver.
