NO ONE’S HIRING AROUND THE HOLIDAYS—OR ARE THEY?

There is an overwhelming amount of info out there and people are swamped. However, short pointers may be absorbed better. Each week, once or twice weekly, I will zero in on a specific area of job search, so my tips will encompass everything. A comprehensive offering will include one aspect of categories including cover letters, resumes, interviewing; effective networking and other issues that arise (references, thank you letters, Internet applications, and anything else pertinent).
Good luck job hunters!

“NO ONE’S HIRING AROUND THE HOLIDAYS—OR ARE THEY?”

– “NO ONE’S HIRING AROUND THE HOLIDAYS” is a myth. Seasonal retail jobs aside, some recruiters claim that around and immediately before Christmas is the best time to get interviews—and offers. How can that be? Isn’t it slow in December? It may be slow in December but employers are relaxed and in the holiday mood and more apt to be generous and amendable with less scrutiny and skepticism to listen to job applicants interview for openings. Because most people feel this time of year is a waste of time seeking work and because most are preoccupied with holiday plans and decorating, you may have less competition. Just as in real estate, earnest buyers and not just lookers, are out in the cold weather in larger numbers over lookers in Spring time, troopers earnest about seeking employment might just find the golden egg! Remember the best time to look for work is when the opportunity comes your way—or better yet—when you make it happen. Remember that the best time to get a job is when you make that match when minds meet and decide to welcome you on board. It can happen at any time of year and in any season. Hang your tinsel and polish your resume. Season’s Greetings!
