Episode 69 | Turn! Turn! Turn! To Every Quarter There Is a Season

Question

Hi Work Wives, this is Lois from Kingwood, Texas. I was laid off at the end of last August, and I’ve been looking for a job since, and I haven’t been getting anywhere. In the last month or so, I haven’t even been getting rejection letters. I’m about to break. What can I do? Do I need to be doing something differently? I’ll take anything you’ve got.

Summary

Now’s the time to understand the seasonality of Corporate America — that each quarter in Corporate America has its own vibe, whether it’s a winning locker room with money to burn, a budget wasteland full of layoffs, or something in between.

What does this mean to you? To every quarter there is a season… A time to hire, a time to fire. A time to spend, a time to save. A time to take your PTO, and a time to… hella not.

In this episode, Vanessa & Holland break down what to watch for in each quarter, in order to get the most out of your job, your career, and Corporate America.
