I graduated last May and didn't get my GCA job until late July. I started job searching in March, but the ones I heard back from early never really panned out since I was still in school when they wanted someone to start. I noticed that a lot more GCA job postings pop up in May through August since that's when places know if their current GCAs got into programs and are leaving. You also have to be very open to moving, there weren't any opportunities in MN (where I'm from), so I applied to basically all the GCA jobs I found. The interviewing process can also take time, my current job took a little over a month from submitting my application to getting an offer. I'd recommend having an alert on indeed.com or other job posting sites for "genetic counselor assistant" so you can find the new postings. I'd also start looking in April, but keep in mind you might not find a job before you graduate.
