Job Search in December / A prime time for it

You think the holidays are a great time to kick back and take a break from your job search. “No one is hiring now, anyway.” Think again! Year after year, research shows December can be a great month for landing opportunities, so it is a big mistake to take a break now. Here are six reasons to ramp up your job search at this time of year.

1. Companies sometimes “find” money they need to spend at this time of year.

2. A lot of people think December is a good month to stop searching for jobs.

3. Unexpected openings.

4. Surprise projects during an otherwise slow time may yield temporary gigs.

5. Being available may get you half-way there.

6. Networking opportunities increase.
