Why is January the saddest month of the year?

Agreed. January is doom & gloom. Dark short days….rainy …cold….looking forward to linger days with sunshine & warmth

Without a doubt, the years should begin after the end of January.

Not going to lie, I can't wait for February. January has sucked for me.

1 week into February and so far things haven't been much cheerier. I'm looking forward to the weather change near the end of the month though.

Hello Fish,

I have finally had it with all my job application rejections and am strategizing to get more experience. My only work experience has been working at a hospital admitting patients and I think it would be a good idea to volunteer to design websites for anyone needing it. Do you know of any organizations or companies in need of volunteers? I know CSS, HTML, JavaScript, WordPress, Adobe Premiere/Photoshop and am willing to learn any technology for an opportunity to help out.

I am in my last round of an interview process and will meet the entire team spending a few hours with them in the office. Business professional & resume copies ...what else? It's my first in the US, so a bit nervous, but in general confident and relaxed. 😎
What should I pay special attention to? Any ideas what questions I should prepare and what would they appreciate from my side?

Has anyone been in this situation or was part of the team? Pls share your insights with me!TY
