Year End Holidays
Just a reminder that not every company ceases hiring activities around the end of the year. Yes, it’s the holidays and scheduling interviews may slow down for some companies, but resumes are still being reviewed and decisions are still being made. Year-end budgets are being worked out and in some cases offers need to be extended before the New Year starts.
So if you have decided it’s not worth your time to look at job postings this close to the holidays, you may be missing out.
I’ve posted several openings over the least two weeks and am receiving resumes from all over the globe. Local candidates have the best chance of being hired…so don’t stop your search under the mistaken idea that no one is hiring this time of the year.
Also, on the plus side since so many people assume no one is hiring this time of the year, your competition for the job openings is less. It’s much easier for your resume to work its way to the top of a pile of 25 – 50 resumes rather than the normal 100+. So why not use the holiday slow down to your job searching advantage?
Season’s greetings to everyone.
