Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph. Shirley Temple You may not believe in Santa Claus, but you can get the gift you want for Christmas if you work hard over the holidays (that gift being a job, of course). The general rule of thumb (or at least my general rule of thumb) is that not much hiring goes on between the end of November and the New Year. There are several reasons for this the Holidays, companies who have run out of budget for the current year, planning that is mid-stream for next year and the fear that people wont move at the end of the year (missing their bonuses however small they may be). But while all of this is true to a certain extent, this is actually the best time of year to be ramping up your job search effort. Why, you may ask? Because for all of the reasons I raised before. The Holidays will soon be over, most companies budgets start on January 1st and the lead time for interviewing is several weeks long. So spending time now will get you in the best position for new hiring at the beginning of the New Year.
