5 QUESTIONS PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYERS CANNOT ASK YOU ARE YOU ON THE JOB HUNT?
2. WHAT IS YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION?
Did you know January is the most popular month for job seekers? According to the job posting giant Monster.com, the top career search day in 2017 was Jan. 4. In fact, six out of the 10 most common job hunting dates occurred in January as well.
