The December 25, 2010, edition of The Dallas Morning News on page 25A contains suggestions for holiday job hunting in an article by Diane Stafford, of The Kansas City Star titled “Now’s no time to take holiday from job hunting.” Here are her suggestions for holiday job hunting:
1. Send greeting cards or even emails to job-club conveners, headhunters, career counselors, professional association leaders and executive who have helped you.
2. Parties are easy times for networking; dress up and put your best face forward. Be upbeat and discreetly publicize your talents and availability.
3. Your relatives could be conduits to a new job. It is a good idea to keep them in the loop.
4. Holidays provide many charitable volunteering opportunities. Donate your time; you will feel better about yourself, and you may meet key people with helpful contacts.
5. In addition, continue to send resumes and cover letters to targeted organizations that are most like to be hiring.
Please share with readers of this blog your ideas for effectively using the holiday season for job hunting.
Thanks! Glyn
