Morning Pinuz
Seeing it can take months for things to happen in this industry, I would not worry too much about a start date at the end of the year.
The first thing is to get the job offer. After that you can look at other options.
The company I was working for a few years ago went into liquidation, I secured a new job within 2 months, but did not start for another 3 months.
Things can and do take time. I would not look at any quick fix, especially Eaglejet, that works for some and not for others.
I would read what I wrote for you on another thread regarding DODAR etc and see if you can get some books on CRM, work on your personal skills.
Good luck
