Today isn’t just another Tuesday — July 1 is the official start of Q3, the midpoint of the year. In the words of the great Bon Jovi, “We’re halfway there, living on a prayer.”

Whether you crushed your goals in the first half or fell off somewhere around February, now’s the time to reset for the second half.

In business, Q3 is where the pressure picks up. Budgets tighten, performance reviews loom, and big bets start to pay off. For jobseekers, it’s a good time to pause and take stock.

This week, when you apply for a coveted job, give yourself a halftime pep talk. The first half of the year may not have worked out the way you hoped, but there’s still plenty of time for success.

Then into the holiday weekend ready to relax and forget about the job search for a few days. We’ll be here next week to get you back in gear.
