Happy July 4th
The Independence Day holiday is fast approaching and many companies are closed for the week, this is also a common week for vacations for both employed and unemployed individuals. Therefore, everyone is more difficult to reach this time of the summer.
If you are unemployed or passively seeking a new job and decide to go on vacation because “nothing is going to happen this week,” I’d like to remind you that not everyone is taking the week off.
It would really be in your best interest to take a functioning cell phone with you and/or check your emails.
It is not uncommon around this time of the summer for me to have employers asking to schedule phone or in-person interviews this week and I cannot reach the candidates.
This is not the end of the world; however while we’re waiting for you to respond to your voice mail messages, or for you to check and return your email messages; please note that someone else may be offered the job while you are away.
It would be so much nicer to come back from vacation refreshed with an interview scheduled or take a little time out of the week for a phone interview and perhaps have a new job to return to?
