My contract is up end of December, how far out would you start applying elsewhere?

For context, my current role is cool and I want to see my time through. Also some chance to go FTE, based on budget approvals…

Seems the duration and hiring process is all over the place depending where you look.

Get that resume and portfolio ready and start looking! With this kind of time cushion you can be picky. If you get an offer early you can negotiate a start date or even use it as leverage with your current position to get FTE (or see how real that promise is). Just be honest in interviews about your contract.

It’s been painfully slow this past month in my department (corporate law) and I had low hours throughout the summer. I’ve never refused work and have always sent an email to partners when I had slower months asking for more work. I’m definitely not going to hit my target. Should I be worried? I know I’m not the only one in this position but it’s still nerve wracking. Any advise on how to control your anxiety during those times?

Hi! I interviewed on October 7th with PwC for tech consulting and still haven’t heard anything.

Please advise.

It’s a small startup. HR interviewed me and asked all the hard hitting questions (how do you get design inspiration, how do you deal with design roadblocks, what sets you apart for this role?) which I thought was odd for a screening interview.

They made some affirmative noises then said the next step would be a design test (one pager) which I would present to a panel of interviewers including the CMO.
Anyone else think this is odd?
