Happy Christmas Eve and Wrapped Up Wednesday! I've been looking for jobs today and realized that unless I land a position with an immediate start, I won't be working again before 2026. I'm trying to stay positive, even though this week and next will be slow for my side gigs. So, my question is: has anyone secured a job to start before 2026? Also, any tips on how to land a job by then?

I think this is mostly a rant, but job tips are always apricated. It helps the whole board.

I've had interviews but no offers. I doubt I'll be working before 2026. It will be a miracle from God if I start working in the next week.

I doubt it for me as well..even fast food takes a while to hear back from anymore.
