Pointers to the third-party resources referenced during the session — not endorsements.
JobNet 2.0 is a community of practice, not a book club. We don't endorse external tools, authors, platforms, or workbooks. The resources below are ones Nicole Marquesa referenced during her January session — listed here so attendees who want to follow up can find them cleanly. If you're interested and you see value, you may find one useful. If not, skip it. Either is a valid response.
We don't host or mirror any of these resources. Every link points to the original creator's site, so you're getting whatever they've decided to publish, in their format, under their terms.
An annual goal-setting workbook released in December 2025 as a free companion to Mel Robbins' podcast. Nicole pointed to it as a resource attendees could use alongside the 8-Stack exercise if the longer-form Robbins framing resonated with them. It is not a JobNet 2.0 recommended reading — it's Nicole's reference, included here because attendees asked about it.
Nicole noted the Robbins podcast as the broader source for the workbook and her general framing. Available wherever podcasts are hosted. Listen if the Robbins register works for you; skip if it doesn't.
Google Docs ships with a journal template you can use as-is or edit freely. To find it: open Google Docs → File → New → From a Template, then scroll down to the Journal section. The template includes sample prompts you can replace with the four daily prompts or the three categorical prompts from Nicole's session.
For attendees who don't want to adopt a new tool just to start journaling, this is often the lowest-friction path.
TehShan demoed ChatGPT's free tier to generate a job search journal template on the fly. The free tier is sufficient for template generation and most journaling-related prompting. Paid tiers offer longer context windows (helpful if you eventually want to analyze weeks of accumulated entries) and stronger privacy controls. If you're going to feed personal search data to any AI, read the privacy policy of whichever tier you use.
TehShan compared ChatGPT's output to Gemini's paid tier during the demo. Running the same prompt through two AI tools is a useful practice — the differences in framing help you choose the version that fits your voice. Gemini integrates natively with Google Docs, which can simplify the analyze-my-journal loop if your entries live there.
On slide 12, Nicole named three broader tool categories — goal trackers, vision boards, and accountability teams — without recommending specific products. The live chat collected attendee-suggested tools in each category, which is where JobNet 2.0 always prefers to source platform recommendations: from the room, not from the stage. If you want those suggestions and weren't in the chat, ask the JobNet 2.0 LinkedIn community — the room persists online between sessions.
