Introduction

To get set up, participants should: 

• Determine a place to keep digital notes – this could be OneNote, EverNote, Simple note, Notion, or another notetaking application. But it should be a place where they store digital information that they can access from multiple devices. 
• Create a LinkedIn profile if they don’t already have one and are comfortable doing so 

Wherever they keep notes, participants should start a Career Journal based on the template in Module 0 – Career Journal Template that they update periodically. This is an activity that can also be done in the weekly meetings.
