Music is playing in every household, families are getting together and dinners are getting organized. Is it a good idea to be seeking for a job when every job seeker is enjoying this family break? The answer is yes. A high amount of professionals and job seekers are busy getting everything related to the festive season done. It’s time for you to make the most of this time of the year where there is less competition between job seekers. There is also a rise in job offers and opportunities as companies have better insight on the New Year’s budget.


Sectors such as the retail and financial industries kick start their hiring processes during the holiday season. Indeed, at the end of the year, companies have finalized their business and budget goals of the year meaning they have a clear vision of the recruitments they are able to put in place.


Knowing that an ideal job search is carried out between 4 and 8 weeks before hand and supposing that your goal is to get a job by the first of January, you need to seize the moment today! November is over and December will fly by. Get your cover letter ready, update your professional online networks and get out there! Kick off the holiday blues and get ready for the new job that is waiting for you in 2016.
