I recently learned that the restaurant where I've been working for about six years is being sold. I have until the end of September to find a new job, but I’m wondering if it’s too early to start my job search now, given that it’s mid-July. I’ve been at this small, family-owned restaurant since I was 17, and it's just me and the owners who handle everything. They’re retiring and have accepted an offer, so I know my time here is limited. I’m not overly worried about finding a new position since I have a solid reference and a good amount of experience. However, I’m trying to figure out the best time to start applying. Should I begin now, or would it be better to wait until August? As a full-time university student, I need a part-time job that allows me to manage my studies while covering my rent. Plus, I don’t have my driver’s license yet, which limits my job options. I’ve been working since I was 15, so it’s been a while since I’ve looked for a new position, and I could really use some advice on how to navigate this situation.
