There is less competition. The assumption that November, December, and January aren’t ideal months for the job hunt is shared by many individuals. Because of this assumption there aren’t as many people to compete with for jobs during the holiday season.
People are in a good mood during the holidays. Although there is some stress associated with the business and the deadlines during the holiday season, people do tend to be in a festive mood. This festivity will contribute to some generosity by employers during the holidays!
There are ample networking events. With all of the different holiday parties and gatherings there are more chances to network and find new job opportunities. You get to meet many new people who can potentially provide new prospects for jobs! Be aware of this so that you can take advantage of these social events and so that you are professional! You may even encounter familiar faces who slipped your mind to contact while job hunting.
Not only are there parties and gatherings hosted by family and friends but there are also events held by professional organizations! Businesses and Chamber of Commerce groups tend to have holiday events which can draw even more individuals with whom to network! Check out the Sartell Chamber of Commerce website for some of our Chamber’s upcoming events! Details for the Chamber Holiday Social can be found on the flyer below.
