Why December is a GREAT Month to Find a Job
We often think that December is fallow time for anyone but retail. That may be true, but it’s also a great time to find a job. Consider these important aspects from employer’s perspective:
- Many companies are on a Jan-Dec fiscal year. If a growing department has some budget money left over AND if they are in a “use it or lose it” situation, they will be looking for ways to increase their payroll. If you have presented yourself in such a way as to show your unique value (how you can help that company make money), then YOU may be the one who can help!
- If a company is growing rapidly, they are already thinking about staffing needs for Q1 of 2008 — which begins in January.
- Winter season is “cold season” — a company may need some temporary help while staff members go out sick.
My suggestion is that you present yourself to the owner, hiring manager, upper level management with a proposal as to how you can help them meet their business needs/goals. Let them know you are ready to go NOW. Good luck!
