Reminder that it's really hard to get hired in October, November, and December. So if you've been job seeking and have gotten very little traction the past few months, know that it's not you. Don't give up hope!

* Hiring teams have the fewest open roles left at year's end

* It's tough to put interview schedules together because everyone is on vacation

* Even with the interviews, it's tough to schedule the debrief + hiring committee + offer review

Etc

@mekkaokereke It’s a great time to find good candidates, if you’re looking...

@peterbutler @mekkaokereke Certainly given me a bit of hope... been getting up against a hard wall the past 3 months trying to get companies to even interview me. I hope other people going through the same thing can last the drought and get the jobs they need and want.

@scanner @mekkaokereke I’ve been there. It can get really depressing for me — hang in and keep posting

@scanner @peterbutler @mekkaokereke trying to feel relieved seeing that it's not just me, lmao

@chrisisgr8 @peterbutler @mekkaokereke Relieved but still anxious with bouts of being depressed. The mood swings are real.

@scanner @peterbutler @mekkaokereke i think I am in the "acceptance" phase, but only time will tell

@chrisisgr8 Yeah. I think this is something I will never get used to. Some people say I should take advantage and relax more.. but the anxiousness never seems to fully go away so that makes it difficult.
