I feel like the best time to apply is right after the New Year. Like February. The worst time might be around the holidays.

Anytime is the best time to apply for a job because you'll never know when opportunities will knock at your door.

Just don't give up keep applying and take a break if needed. Make sure to keep your head high and be hopeful! Keep finding helpful tips online and recruiters in your area. In finding a job process I became good friend with few recruiters - Any time I applied for a job. I was able to trust them and get some information as I wanted about the company culture etc Also glass door is helpful.

I got job in Dec and I was out of work for 6 months.

Wish you best of luck!

The worst time is during the holidays, basically the last two weeks of the year. Other than that, I think it's fair game.

I disagree with this… teams often lose the headcount when the new year starts so they want to get someone in the door. I once skipped a final round and got an offer bc it was the last two weeks of the year and the MD was out for the holidays

I would just say you can appply at anytime but it is important to not be too desperate because you might ignore red or yellow flags

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that? Seems wildly unprofessional that none of the partners called and instead it was the recruiter conveying that news. At McKinsey, if that happened, the head of the practice or the office would personally make the phone call at the very least.

Any tips on how to ace this presentation?

The next time someone says there’s no such thing as white privilege - especially for the rich and males - point them to Donald Trump. Who else could get away with the shenanigans he pulls? A black POTUS? A female POTUS? Nope. Only a white *rich* male could act like Donald and have half the country backing him. FFS, Obama couldn’t even wear a tan suit.

Hi All
Anyone from marketing or product teams here. Looking for roles for Sr Manager and above.

I teach 4th and 5th grade.
I am not out to my students and families.
I am a very loved and "popular" teacher at school for my ability to build relationships and engage.

I am worried that coming out or rather being outed may affect my ability to build relationships because parents who have issues will inevitably relay certain messages to their children.


Coming out in an elementary setting is different from a middle or high school setting I feel. Anyone else?
