WEEKEND EDITION - FEB 1-2, 2026
New month. New opportunities. Apply from your couch.
All jobs below have quick applications and are actively hiring.
Why this weekend matters: It's the first weekend of February. Companies just got their Q1 budgets approved. Hiring managers are back in action. Your competition is watching Netflix. You're applying.
February 1st is one of the best days to job hunt all year.
New month = new hiring budgets. New quarter (still Q1) = pressure to fill roles. First weekend = fresh job postings that haven't been flooded yet.
I went through our job board and picked 10 positions you can apply to right now. All have quick applications. Most are entry-level friendly.
Total time: 2-3 hours. Result: 10 applications landing in inboxes Monday morning.
