In the past if a person put in a job application for a state position, it would take months to get an interview. In the last year it has taken weeks.

I need to start looking for the positions my certification qualifies me for, but I won't have that paper until the end of spring term. Should I apply for a job prior to being qualified for it?

I am apprehensive about finding work. I don't want to wait until D day to hand them in. I am asking myself if I should I hand in applications in advance. I am waffling on thinking 6 months is too far in advance. When I type it out it seems obvious it is.

I applied for a couple of positions a couple of terms ago. I was screened out of one but the other one I got an interview. I shouldn't be so naive to think people will just sit on my application while I finish up my degree.

Maybe I should wait until my last term. Spring term?

It wouldn't be fair of me to take someones spot at an interview if I am not available right now. I am not feeling fair. I want to wrest victory out of someone else s hands if I could.

How far in advance of your available date would you hand in applications?
