how soon is too soon? re:apps for autumn/winter

How soon would you say is too soon regarding applying for work starting in late October/early November?
I am hoping to get a retail supervisor position. I have 20+ years experience in retail and received (unofficial) supervisor training on the job at GCSR.
I will be at GTLC until early October and would like to have something lined up quickly within 3 weeks of my end date.

I think that you should give HR a break and let them get through the summer hiring crunch and then start contacting them. Lets say mid-June for the Teton area. For a supervisor position, you might want to have something nailed down by early September.

On the other hand, I have gotten some of my best supervisors late in the hiring process ofter someone has dropped out. Go figure.; ▶ Reply to This

You can also start looking for jobs in nearby Jackson at the end of the season as they will be plentiful...

I am still undecided what to do at the end of this season.
I want to settle down somewhere and perhaps not move so much seasonally!

I do know it will be retail work or arts related as those are my fortes

thanks
I'll be in Jackson tonite on the shuttle bus.; ▶ Reply to This

thanks for the job finding advice...I'm really not sure yet if I want to stay in Jackson (it looks do-able year round) or take my other route and move back to the beach

I'm holding off judgement for several weeks at least

have fun @ signal mountain
