Have you decided to put your job search on hold for the holidays? Well don’t. I have just returned from a great Talent Net Live recruiting conference in Chicago. It was attended by employers from all over the Second City, and the U.S. Guess what? They are all hiring.
Here are some nice resources to help get you, oh holiday job seeker, through the break. The amazing Laurie Ruettimann, who did a fantastic job as emcee of TalentNet Live this week, posted this nice article about holiday job searching, Get a Job in December.
Next we have a post I did for Keppie Careers awhile back. Recruiters Don’t Ease Up During the Holidays – Neither Should You.
Finally, I recently contributed to an ebook titled “Handbook for the Recently Unemployed,” produced by QLab’s Huntsy (http://blog.huntsy.com) as a valuable and free promotional tool for job hunters.
This is a fantastic compilation of original writing and carefully selected posts from over 15 authors on the topic. Its a funny read, and a great reference for anyone looking to re-enter the workforce.
You can download the ebook here. It’s free!
If you are unemployed this holiday season, don’t give up hope. I’m cheering for you. You can do this!
Happy holidays. -CF
