Whether you’re in denial about graduating this spring or looking for your first summer internship, entering the job market is no easy feat. Here’s what’s in store for you while you scour job postings this hiring season.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Your chaotic energy is one of your biggest draws, Aries, and it’s made you the first invite on a night out with friends time and time again. While you’re bound to get your dream gig this hiring season, it might require a more concentrated effort on your part to stay focussed. Be sure to save a little bit of razzle dazzle for the interview, though. If you flop when showing off your skills, you still might be a good personality hire.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You’re stubborn, diligent, and know what you want, Taurus, so this might just be the season where you land the job that’s passed you over the last few years. You’re logical, grounded, and can work your way through a problem, so of course the third time you land a first interview, you’ll nail it.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
According to Co-Star, you’re most likely to become a politician, Twitter personality, or quirky side character, but I’ve got higher hopes for you, Gemini. You’re versatile, analytical as hell, and beyond creative, so don’t feel too boxed into anything quite yet. You have lots of room to explore still.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Don’t be an idiot, Cancer—not everyone’s parents work in finance. Be grateful and take the job, it’ll pay off in the long run. Invest in your future just like everyone else is doing and know that this summer, a restaurant job isn’t going to cut it.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
Don’t mix personal and professional, Leo. While you should pick the job that will best suit you and your career goals, I don’t mean the one with the hottest coworkers. HR will frown upon your fraternization, even if they’re in another department.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
I know you’re worried for what lies ahead, Virgo, but take a second to breathe. Your perfectionist tendencies really shine through when you’re applying for jobs, and you’re probably the only person who can slap “detail-oriented” on your resume and make this declaration in good faith. Keep pushing yourself to new heights and stop fretting over whether you’re going to make it or not—everyone standing behind you knows you’ll make them all proud.
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
Embrace the abundance, Libra. This job-hunting season, the universe has aligned in your favour, and you’ll find yourself receiving offers for all the positions you applied for. The choices may seem overwhelming, but don’t be afraid to reach for the stars. Opt for the dream job that ignites your passion and creativity, rather than settling for the safe option.
Trust your instincts, Libra; sometimes they’re not so bad.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
Trust the process, Scorpio. Your relentless dedication and proactive approach are about to yield results. Your job applications are submitted; now it’s time to chill and practice patience. I assure you, your perfect job will come to you.
Believe in the journey, stay positive, and remain confident in the value you bring. The fruits of your hard work will finally pay off, bringing you closer to securing the perfect job you’ve been working all year for.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Know your worth, Sagittarius, and don’t be afraid to negotiate for a higher salary. Your unique skills and dynamic personality will make you an asset in any workplace. As you navigate through job offers, consider not just the role itself but also the compensations that reflects your true value. After all, it’s not often you find yourself in a position of being desperately wanted.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
Although this may not be where you initially envisioned yourself, Capricorn, trust that it’s meant to be. Embrace the uncertainty and recognize that your true future holds promise, even in the midst of ambiguity. Your journey may take unexpected turns, but each step contributes to your growth and development. If nothing works out, you’ll always have the allure of a Kingston summer to fall back on.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb 18)
Brace yourself for a lot of rejection, Aquarius. Your bad attitude throughout the year is finally catching up to you and your resume is an accurate reflection.
At the top of the student job food chain, you were a big fish in a little pond at Queen’s, but out in the real world, you’re a nobody—a grossly unqualified nobody at that.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
Get your head out of your ass, Pisces. Nothing is going to be handed to you on a silver platter. If you truly want the job, roll up your sleeves and put in the hard work. Relying solely on your mediocre networking skills won’t take you very far no matter how many LinkedIn connections you have.
Success demands effort, dedication, and hustle. So, go out there, showcase your skills, and earn the position you want. It’s time to prove your worth and show you’re not just expecting thins to fall into your lap.
