I am not looking for a new job for myself but I work with staffing companies to help them share their open jobs with Jobcase. Most of the staffing companies I'm speaking with are not hiring or are not hiring very many people in January.
But from what I am reading online, it seems January is a great time for job search -- this made me think of the Jobcase community:
If you are actively job searching how are you managing your search? Are hiring managers getting back to you quickly?
How are those of you that are actively seeking work staying motivated if you aren't seeing many open jobs in your field of expertise or your geography?
I found these articles on the topic and thought they were worth sharing:

Happy job hunting to those of you that are are actively looking and I am always happy to help with suggestions or connections!
