Prospective Employer List
A to Z gives you the paths. This gives you the names.
It starts by naming your niche — the precise position, path, or Job Target Hypothesis you're pursuing. This is a living, working document: brainstorm your niches broadly, then build a focused, tiered list of real organizations and people who can hire you. This list becomes the customer base your whole search runs on — your Market Analysis, Needs Assessment, and Employer Empathy Map all pull from the targets you name here.
You have 20–30 organizations tiered into A (dream), B (strong fit), and C (viable backup), with at least one department/role and one contact lead under each. Your top 5–10 — usually your A's — are flagged as researched, and you've written your reflections and next steps below.
Brainstorm Your Niches
Cast a wide net before narrowing. Every niche — every type of organization, sector, or context where this role could exist — is a door into a new pool of employers.
Targeted Employer List
Organize real targets by Niche → Organization → Department / Role. Tier each organization as you add it, and flag your top targets as researched. Keep expanding as you learn more.

Brainstorm broadly, then tier honestly — A is a dream fit, B is strong, C is a real backup, not a throwaway. Your entries save automatically on this device. Treat this as a living document: keep adding as you research, network, and learn.
