I spoke with a job recruiter, not the one Humana offered, but one I sought out on my own, and he told me even though there are many jobs posted in my area that organizations most likely will NOT hire new staff before the first of the year due to things like the W2 process and paying for that new staffer in 2017. He told me not to get discouraged, but that it will probably not be until late January until I get interviewed/hired and onboarded in a new role outside Humana
Read this at @QeHTxu8-1fag, thought it should be on the main page. I'm still waiting to get an interview, and reading this lifted my spirits a little.
