Dec
Over the next week, most businesses will be closed. This means that operations, including hiring, will be suspended. So any applications you send in will not be seen until everyone’s back from the holiday break, a good reason to hold off sending anything.
So what can you do instead? Well, you can:
- Tune up your resume and cover letter
- Backtrack over some job sites you may not have checked recently
- Look for jobs through other media
- Try some new things with social networks
- Make your job search a bit greener
- Work on your personal brand
- Network with new people
- Reconsider your options for work and life
So even if you can’t send in a job application (and that’s kind of frequent), there are still a lot of things you can do to keep your career search going.
Or you can relax and enjoy the holidays with your friends and family. I won’t hold either choice against you.
