I need to get motivated to start applying to jobs again. It feels a bit slow for jobs right now. When do you think job openings will pick up again? Maybe March? Spring?

Spring, I hope. I want to start exploring then too. I’m always exploring, but I think that’s when it’s going to be back up and running because most businesses pick up then.

Taking the time now to make sure I’m ready. Retail is always in a funk after the holidays. Spring and early summer business start to pick back up again, and that’s usually when I see more job openings where I live.

That's a great question, I have no idea when or if it will pick up. I'm really hoping it does but it's hard to say. I was told that it would pick up in the new year but I haven't noticed that yet. However it's only the first couple of weeks, so we shall see.

Totally get it—job hunting can feel sluggish and deflating. Spring (around March/April) **usually** brings more openings as companies ramp up hiring after the new-year slow down. Use this time to refresh your resume, tailor applications, and reconnect with your network—so when the opportunities do pick up, you’ll be ready to move fast. You’ve got this!

If you are looking for a retail job then yes waiting might be beneficial as it is a slow time and hours are sparse. But there are jobs out there just have to go aggressively in finding them.

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?

Just got a job offer but they are only giving me until Monday afternoon to decide. I'm currently in process at several other firms and the recruiter said they can't/won't give extensions. How bad is it for me to accept and then decline if I get another offer? The other companies would be paying 15-30k more and I feel like that's way too much to give up especially right out of school. I emailed the other companies I'm interviewing with to see if the process could be expedited and (1/2)
