Thinking of putting your job search on hold during the summer months? Think again! Summer is a great time for increased networking – ballgames, family cook-outs, block parties, and even summer trips. Contrary to popular beliefs, companies don’t slow down their hiring during summertime. Although the interview process may take a bit longer due to hiring managers taking some time off, summer is a great time to kick up the pace of the search. In fact, you’ll have a competitive edge as many other job seekers will be taking time off from their search. So, enjoy the summer months, but keep the search alive!
Great post Jan! I actually found the last two jobs I got during the summer, so I agree 100%.
Agreed! And also true for those who are starting their own business. Often just letting others know you will be available when others many have limited hours or closed for a holiday, could lead to work. We have found this when we offer holiday and off-hours service. Thanks, Jan!
