Life Takes Time - Part 1: Hiring Season
By Lauren Celano, CEO, Propel Careers
Lauren wrote this article for BioCareers as part of her monthly contributions.
Just like the ocean waves, hiring is a process with peaks (fall and spring) and troughs (summer and winter). Certainly some hiring occurs during the troughs, but much less than the peaks. During the slower periods, I advise people to actively set aside time to self-reflect. Consider what you want, need, and prefer in your next role, team, and company so that you are focused and prepared to seize the right opportunity once hiring picks up.
