In the United States in the last two months of the year, usually to be a beautiful respite from the usual work activity nose-to-the-grindstone. We gather with family and friends to different religious and secular holidays (Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, New Year, etc.) to celebrate during the parades, parties, dinners and other events. Often exchanged greetings with the people in our personal and professional networks - perhaps the only contact we have with some of them every year.
Reach your network to see if they have a better understanding of the specific patterns - making it, and when they know for employers, a certain employers look for new employees, of openings with the employer or another employer / how.
Be very careful if you are currently employed. Employers are not happy to usually discover that you are planning to go. So focus on your network outside your workplace - not inside!
More recruitment takes place during the holidays in January
Contrary to popular belief, the holidays are a busy time for the post of "normal" job (as opposed to works "holiday" in stores) time. So while you relieve some of the activities during the holidays, do not give up your job search! In December 2013, the employer in the United States filled 40,000 jobs more than they did in January 2014 and every year!
Job seekers who face should wait more competition in January (all that you want to wait) with less than full employment.
To be covered by a current employee is the best / fastest way to get a new job
Many studies have shown that a candidate has referred by a current employee almost 20 times more likely than someone who used to be easily applied without reference. After CareerXroads expert Gerry Crispin, millions of recruits explored every year, one of five candidates have committed themselves to the above - as opposed to more than eighty candidates who are not covered. Go to the efforts for a referral to get help. And that is why the holidays are the time for job seekers and employers.
After Crispin, a "Recommendation workers" employees not only brings your resume directly to the hiring manager. It may also mean that the "Employee Reference" box is completed by the applicant employer system (CV database alias candidates).
Party Time is the time to connect and reconnect
To celebrate the holidays at various events and meetings, prepared to advance your job search as. No need for the job search networking can not make part of the fun! So bring your networking / business cards and an excellent response to the question "What do you want?". Also, if you are unemployed for more than a few days, ready for the "Are you still unemployed?" He asks to be.
Ask created your mental script when someone asks what's going on in your life right now. Tell them:
o. They are "looking for a new job as a [job title] for an employer to [Company name] and [name of company]." Resist vague - restrictions and no more. Answers such as "I could not do anything", are not useful or true. And you say "nothing" makes you look and sound desperate.
. o Include enjoy every race they may have for you - the names of the people who work for the employer or work at this time in this area.
Connect with Christmas cards and messages
In their efforts to leave again to focus not only on people who are close to or meeting face to face. Studies have shown that people who are "weak" links to be our best networking contacts. And if you have not seen in a long time, via e-mail or a holiday card to achieve with them again.
See this as part of their "weak" network:
o. Current and former classmates, teachers and professors
o. Former colleagues and superiors (also known as "the old society")
o. recruiters who may have done in previous works
o. Customers and old customers
o. Suppliers and former supplier
o. neighbors and former neighbor
o. Distant relatives
o Other in your community -. parents and teachers gathered at the school for your child, local area networks, such as the chamber of commerce business, place of worship, newcomers club, etc.
o Expand your professional world -. People gathered in industry events, such as specialized training, conferences and workshops
o. Others who made contact with and loved in the past, but held
Unless you know someone who resist the temptation to include your CV with a holiday card. Restore contact, and select a time to talk over a cup of coffee or meeting.
