Job Application Time Budget Planner

Plan a week you can sustain with the time you have. Include time to find a suitable role, tailor your materials, complete the form, and track or follow up on earlier applications.

Estimate with your own pace. Your entries are calculated in this browser tab and are not sent to Argo.

Your weekly plan

After 30 minutes for tracking and follow-up, you have 5.5 hours for applications. Each one takes 45 minutes at your estimated pace.

Up to 7 applications fit in your week.

Your target of 8 needs 6.5 hours including follow-up. That is 0.5 hours more than your budget.

How to use it

Enter your available hours each week, minutes spent on each application step, and weekly follow-up time. Set a target to see the time it would take. Download the result as a simple weekly plan.

Example

Six hours per week; 10 minutes finding a role, 20 tailoring, 15 applying, and 30 minutes for follow-up.

330 minutes remain for applications. At 45 minutes each, up to 7 fit in that week.
