- Have coffee with your professional contacts. Since you have more time over the weekend, try to meet up with your professional contacts or make some new ones. Perhaps your friend knows of someone who works at your dream company, ask her for an introduction and try to set up a time to meet with your new contact. You can also start scheduling a time for next weekend if people are unavailable this weekend.
- Read books on companies you want to work at. Perhaps there's a company you'd love to be a part of. Maybe you're in awe of Google and its "Do No Evil" motto and culture. Start researching the best books on those firms and consider finding them in the library or buying a copy of it yourself.
