[quote=Anonymous]OP, job searches can be overwhelming, and it's a long timeline. I'm glad you see that bombarding her with links isn't helping her get to the finish line If she is disorganized and tends to procrastinate, she'll only succeed if she breaks it down into small tasks and can check off a few every day. that and helping her with a daily structured schedule are probably the two biggest things that will help as long as you don't nag on the back end maybe start with having her make one initial contact phone call and send one email - once in the morning and once in the afternoon - every day. Then one follow up contact every day. Then either one request for an informational interview or one actual informational interview once a day. Get an app that lets you break down your day like this and help set it up with her That might help you feel like she's getting some forward momentum and give her some actual constructive assistance without parenting the whole thing?[/quote]
