For Candidates: Are holidays affecting your job search?
Do holidays affect your job search? The bad news is that it may be more difficult to reach hiring authorities because they have taken time off. The good news is most job seekers put their search on hold which means less competition for you.
Summer celebrations usually include fireworks, picnics and parades. These are all opportunities to subtly network. Don’t be afraid to get out there and mix a little business with pleasure. This month is also a good time to review your goals and progress to date. If your job search efforts are not providing you with results or even interviews, review your activities. It’s important that you submit resumes and follow up daily.
