Dont Pause Your Job Search Just Because Its the Holidays

Hiring is a year-round process and there’s never a bad time to apply for a job. That means holidays are a great time to look for a job, too. So don’t put off your job search for after the holidays. Here’s why. It’s a great time to network. People gather during the holiday season. Reach out to your alumni network, past recruiters, or ex-colleagues and use the holidays as an “in” to update people on how you’re doing, ask about their lives, and share your goals, including career changes you want to make. Managers have hiring objectives they need to hit by the end of the year. As a result, many hiring managers who have not yet hit their hiring objectives will feel the pressure to give offers by the end of the year. The ratio of applicants per job posting may be better during the holiday season, as many people take this time off from job searching, feel burned out and need a break. And this can work in your favor. While some organizations may slow down hiring during the holiday season, some employers will increase hiring in preparation for the holiday season. These employers include retail stores, food and beverage stores, and e-commerce providers. These positions include full-time, seasonal, and part-time positions.
