The holidays are no time to slow down your job search.
If a large number of candidates assume it’s safe to take a break from the job hunt, those who don’t may find a job in their stocking, says Tony Lee, publisher of job search site CareerCast.com.
The site lists these reasons you should keep applying:
People considering a job change usually stay put to make sure they receive year-end bonuses and vacation time they’ve accrued.
Hiring decision makers are less likely to be traveling as the holidays approach.
Everyone is a little happier at the holidays, so leverage that good will to your advantage when trying to schedule interviews.
New Year’s is full of reminders to start fresh. Beat all of those to the punch by maintaining your job search through the holidays.
