Do companies hire in the fourth quarter or are we in the dead zone until January? I'm seeing more jobs get pulled back this month.

We are hiring because we had several people leave, but I'm not sure we would be if we hadn't had them make their exit. We've actually had more people leave recently than I've seen in the last year or so. It's an interesting time, hiring-wise.

We've had a number of people leave too. But some of the backfills got placed on hold because they didn't get filled fast enough.

Wow, good for your sales team!

That's an interesting question. Conventional wisdom has always been that hiring picked up after Labor Day, and this year seems to have been an exception to that. It seems like most organizations are hesitant to do much hiring. If you watch the news all anyone talks about is all the "uncertainty" in the economy, and that attitude seems to have just put the brakes on hiring for the foreseeable future.

Hiring is needs based. Regardless of time of year

True. But the budget can also be an issue any time during the year.

I've done so well in this new role within the company that they are hiring another person to assist with what I do. I've voiced to my boss that I'd like to manage this department and they indicated that this is the thought for the future. Now they are asking me to train this person while I have my plate full. Is it wrong for me to expect either a promotion or to be paid to train this person?

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
