Holiday Job Searching - YES
Christmas is right around the corner and many people are thinking about waiting until the new year before starting a job search. Well, DON'T. Start now. There are many reasons for not putting it off one more second. Here are a few:
1. Everyone is putting it off until the new year. Therefore, you may have a better chance in catching someone looking.
2. Not everyone takes vacation time during Christmas. Some people do not celebrate Christmas or have used up all their vacation time already and only "get off" Christmas day.
3. Many companies want to be fully staffed by the new year. If they are having trouble finding the right person and you walk in the door, you may be selected.
4. Starting now allows you to start doing the administrative tasks associated with the job search. This includes designing your resume, cover letters, company research, locating HR people or hiring managers, and many other things.
5. This is a good time to practice your pitch to potential hiring managers or others.
6. Christmas parties and get-togethers are great times to begin letting EVERYONE around you know you are starting to look for something new.
7. Talking about your search will provide you the start to the emotional exercise of starting something new.
8. Starting now will not allow you to make any more excuses on doing it. You don't want the new year to start to rev up and drive you too fast to start searching.
Good intentions are only that, intentions. Start now and turn those good intentions into progress.
Let's Get Started!
