One of the most common questions job seekers ask is: “Is now a bad time to apply for jobs?” Some worry it’s too early. Others fear they’ve already missed the window. Many pause their search entirely, waiting for the “right time.”

Job searching has a way of slowly chipping away at your confidence. You start out hopeful. You update your CV. You apply for roles you know you can do. And then… nothing. Or worse, rejection emails, silence, or redundancy.
