Q1 hiring trends and your next step

I’m seeing cleared cyber, maintenance, and supply roles trend up about 9% since November in my tracker, especially with federal contractors. If you’re 60–120 days from ETS, share your MOS and target city and I’ll map it to current job titles and a 30-day application cadence, plus the right keywords for USAJOBS and LinkedIn.

I keep a “ready-to-hire” packet — RID/EIPA, DD‑214 for vet preference, W‑9, TB, and a 60‑second ASL intro clip — and it’s gotten me same‑day starts with school districts; a few still need in‑person fingerprints, though. Anyone else seeing EST morning blocks vanish first?
