1. Does an HR rep being 'out' until 1/8/06 sound typical?
2. Should I continue marketing myself until I have an actual start date?




I have spent a number of holiday seasons gainfully unemployed and it sucks. As for the HR rep being out until Jan 8th, it's not unusual, but it seems to me that this vacation was probably planned well in advance of the holidays and, therefore, your headhunter should have been aware of this.


As for continuing to market yourself...what you have is a "promise" not a job. You have the job after the hiring papers are signed. I would be pursuing any and all other job leads.
