Savvy job seekers might know how to write an attractive resume and cover letter, but many are unaware of the fact that December could be the best time of the year to look for a job change.
Competition Level Drops
Majority of job seekers assume that holidays are a waste of time and make marginal effort to look for a new job. But their unfortunate mistake turns out to be your great advantage.
Hiring takes off in New Year
Although interviewing for full-time employees takes a dip in December, the months of January and February typically generate the strongest hiring period of the year. Organizations kick-off new projects and initiatives, budgets are put into place and additional staff is required to carry out the company's plans.
Accordingly, if you take full advantage of the opportunities that the holidays have to offer, you may well find yourself as a sought after candidate--one who's first in line to be interviewed in early January.
