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

@Jeremyinthebluehouse @mekkaokereke My senior year job was at a franchise of a grocery chain, and all things considered, it's one I was pretty fond of.

Granted, it was a union gig, too.

@jima @mekkaokereke kick-ass. I don't realize Jerry's was a union shop!

@Jeremyinthebluehouse @mekkaokereke It was in 1999/2000? No idea for sure now.

I've still got my UFCW withdrawal card somewhere!

@Jeremyinthebluehouse @mekkaokereke I've moved 8 times since I withdrew, including 1000 miles. Twice.
