In the United States, the last two months of the year, usually a welcome change to be used by the working activities of the nose-to-grindstone. We gather with family and friends to various religious and secular holiday (Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, New Year, etc.) to celebrate in the parades, parties, dinners and other meetings. We also exchange greetings with people in our personal and professional networks tend - perhaps the only contact we have with some of them every year.
To see prices with the network, whether they can help to better understand some employers - and so is the employer, such as a certain employers hiring new employees, and if they allow the employer or another employer / know of such openings.
Be very careful if you are currently employed. The employer usually not the joy of discovery that will come. So focus on your network outside your workplace - not inside!
Further adjustment is happening during the holidays in January
Contrary to popular belief, the holidays are a busy time for posts of "regular" job (as opposed to the use of "holiday" in stores). So while you can see some of the activities during the holidays to relieve, do not give up your job search! In December 2013 US employers filled 40,000 jobs more than they did in January 2014. And as every year ends!
Job seekers who have waited until January to deal with increased competition (those who have waited too long) with a lower number of filled jobs.
Be referred by a current employee is the best way / fastest way to get a new job
Numerous studies have shown that a candidate has referred by a current employee almost 20 times more likely than someone who simply are hired without a referral. After CareerXroads expert Gerry Crispin, the results of a survey every year millions of recruits who committed one in five specific candidates - unlike eighty applicants who are not covered. Go to the effort to get a reference aid. And that is why the holidays are the season for job seekers and employers.
According to a "termination of employment" Crispin employee means not only get your resume directly to the hiring manager. It can also mean that the "termination of employment" box is in the applicant tracking system employer completed (database alias candidates CV).
Party time is the time to connect and re
Celebrate the holidays at various events and meetings, ready to get your job search. There is no reason that the net job search can not be a breeze! So bring your networking / card and an excellent response to "What do you want?" Issue. Also, if you are unemployed more than a few days, be prepared for: "You're still standing?" Issue.
Ask your mental script ready when someone asks you what is happening in your life now. Tell them:
o. They are "looking for a job as a [job title] for an employer to [Company Name] or [Name of company]." Withstand wave - restrictions rather than expand. Answers like "I could do nothing" is not useful or true. And just say, "Everything!" makes you look and sound desperate.
. o In all the titles they may have for you to enjoy - the names of the people who work or are working in this area for the moment for the employer.
Connect on Christmas cards and messages
In recovery efforts vacation, not only on the people who are close to you or face to face to focus. Studies have shown that people with us "weak" links can be our best network. And if you have not seen in a while, you may e-mail or a holiday card to achieve with them again.
Check out these people as part of their "weak" network:
o. friends, current and former teachers
o. Former colleagues and superiors (aka "old society")
o. Recruiter you may have set on earlier work
o. customers and former customers
o. and former suppliers Suppliers
o. neighbors and former neighbors
o. Distant relatives
. o Other members of your community - parents and teachers who may have had on their children's schools, networks of local companies such as the Chamber of Commerce, your place of worship, etc. Newcomers Club
. o Another is the experts - the people you met at industry events, such as specialized training, conferences and workshops
o. Others who met in contact with and loved in the past, but kept
Unless you know someone very well, resist the temptation to include your resume with holiday card. Connect, and then select a time to talk over a cup of coffee or meeting.
