Happy November 11!
11/11 is the annual calendar quirk of repeating ones, and here’s your reminder that timing matters. We’re in that narrow window when teams are making their final 2025 hires, as they prepare for a fresh start to 2026.
Numerologists say that when you see 11:11 on a digital clock, it’s a reminder to focus on positive thoughts and pay attention to your intuition. Whether you believe a set of ones has any meaning or not, that’s always good advice when you’re searching for a new job.
When the numbers line up, literally or figuratively, make a move.
