3 Reasons You Should NOT Stop Your Job Search During the Holidays

If you're thinking about stopping your job search during the holidays, think again. Here are three reasons why you should keep forging ahead:

1.  Despite what most people think, many companies do hire during the holiday season. Just take a look on indeed.com, monster.com, company websites, local job

boards, and the plethora of other job posting websites.

2.  Less competition. Because many people believe that companies do not hire during the holidays, they put their job search on hold, and this actually creates an opportunity for you ... less competition!

3.  Holiday Networking Opportunities. The holidays usher in many opportunities to attend social functions and maybe even reconnect with former employers, coworkers, colleagues, etc. So, spread the word that you're looking for work! The more people who know, the greater the changes of finding a job!

As you can see, the misconception that the holidays is a bad time to look for work can actually work to your advantage. Happy Job Hunting!
