Advice Needed: Last month I was laid off from work, however, since have been able to secure another position with another firm (located 90 minutes from my house in a more rural part of the state) doing real estate closings. Aside from the commute and the work (not incredibly fulfilling or challenging) the job is fine. I do consider myself incredibly fortunate to be employed during these challenging times.
Do I aggressively continue my job search or wait until the beginning of the year?

Previously doing general corp/transactional work, however, I haven’t seen very many positions for more junior level associates (not sure whether this is because of the election, the state of the economy, or being so close to the end of the year or just a combination of things). I’ve just developed bad anxiety over this situation.

I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience as this and any advise that you may share.

I was told last week that there probably wouldn’t be an opening for me before March. Have other people had to wait a long time for a government job opening?
