Job Search Tip 58 Remix: Speed of Hiring?
These "quick and done" postings are why it is important to check consistently and frequently. Once or twice a week per job board should be sufficient.
Personally, every job I have gotten after college was because of this situation. Was I the perfect person for the job? No. Was I good enough and ready to jump in? Very yes. Also, I have walked away from jobs mid-process because they the company was going to take their sweet time. Why spend all that time and emotional energy when I already knew that I was not the strongest candidate.

Edwin, an anthropomorphic jackrabbit, is wearing a business casual outfit and has a grumpy expression on his face. He gives job searching tips by speaking directly to the reader using a dialogue bubble. Edwin says,
"'Ideally, when would you want this position filled?' is the last question to ask the recruiter. You will learn how quickly they need to fill the position. Anything less than 1.5 months is urgent. They will soon stop collecting resumes, and you are in the final pool. Anything more than 1.5 months will be slow-moving and competitive."
