Allow me to give you some reasons:
- More than 80% of job seekers stop searching for work -- competition is greatly reduced!
- Many professionals quit this time of year, creating openings
- Companies tie up loose ends before the new year
- Many companies must spend their budget $$$
- Businesses wind down and have more time available to train you
HOLIDAY JOB SEARCH TIPS
- Use the holidays to ''schmooze'' - ask for advice and feedback as opposed to a job
- Send holiday cards to your network of contact with your business card inside
- Create a job search ''to do'' list with at least 1 task or activity every day
- Tap into your network and ask them for 2 more contact names who might be interested in speaking with you
- Take seasonal work over the holidays to meet new people and assist with your bills
Still not convinced?? My husband actually started his new job yesterday ... and I know several others who started their new roles recently...SOLD NOW??
So get out there and connect with your contacts and potential employers -- both of you will be glad you did!
And ... keep focused! ... keep positive! ... and keep learning!
