Keeping my phone on while I search - 24 weeks in

I am worried about keeping my phone and internet on during my search. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. Employers call and email constantly.

Keep the number you use for job applications, even if you change plans. Employers will call it.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
