The End of the Year is Nearing
What you need to do now.
This weekend I will be creating the final scheduled job list. However, as decent jobs pop-up in the summer, I will send notifications to everyone.
In addition, I share jobs on LinkedIn every day. If you do not want to build out a LinkedIn profile, at least make an account and follow my posts. You will also get content on other amazing topics like AI and network security.
The jobs I share on LinkedIn usually have multiple application routes.

Other Advice:
If you have a job, regardless of how you feel about it, keep it for now.
Use the summer to put your stress in perspective and remember that your organization can change over the summer, and when you return the things you did not like might not be a factor any longer.
You need to network to find new opportunities. Do not be the person that goes to a conference and only hangs out with the people they already work with (I saw this yesterday among IT professionals, it is a problem in every industry).
Generalize your scope of work and your professional goals. Think about yourself in the most general terms when looking for new opportunities and you will stop filtering out possibilities. For example, if you are a Middle School English Teacher, see yourself as a licensed Educator with Middle School Experience. In the world of research, that makes a huge difference.
If your job search yielded bad results, please assume all your materials are bad. Everything. Your photo. Your resume. Your cover letters. The emails that you send. Your online profiles. Find people to review this content. Have them rate it on a scale of 1-7 (less likely to be polite with that range). Anything less than a 6, you need to redo it, and please get help with it.
Have a great week and weekend, and hopefully, the last newsletter of the season will be a good one.
