Now is the time to put extra effort in to that job search. Most candidates think that the Holidays are a slow time for companies. Actually, business may be slow, but hiring often is more feverous in November, December and January as compared to other times of the year.
Companies often are more active interviewing and hiring during these months for the following reasons:
- They may have money in their manpower and travel budgets that has not been spent and they will lose it December 31, if not used.
- Their new budgets open up in the first quarter and it takes time to make a good hire.
- The companies are not very busy during the holidays; therefore, managers are willing to spend more time looking and interviewing candidates.
When other candidates are not very active, you should take advantage of these three months to set up interviews and prepare to hit the road running coming January 1st.
