Job seekers usually do not think of the Holidays as the best time of the year to be conducting a job search.  While it’s true that hiring is slower during the Holiday time, most companies that have openings are looking to hire someone before the end of the year, or at least have the candidate pool narrowed down to the top two or three. Most job seekers will wait until the start of the new year to start sending out resumes which means the applicant pool, and consequently your competition is greater.  By having your resume into the circulation and at least one interview under your belt, you could have an edge over someone who waits.

It may seem better to wait and “enjoy the holidays” without having significant work responsibilities, but the pay off immediately following the holiday season can be more fruitful for those job seekers doing due diligence between Thanksgiving and New Year’s.
