Great Reasons to Job Hunt in December!

Just because it's cool outside doesn’t mean that you should cool down on your Job Hunt. Putting your job search on hold until January could be a bad idea. For one reason, your application could get lost amongst all the other candidates that decided over the Christmas/New Year break to start a fresh career in 2019. Applying now for a position may help you as there's less competition right now as you get in ahead of the posse. Budgets are also being reviewed and forecasts made for the New Year ahead, so a lot of business are already looking to fill jobs and they’re advertising them now – one of these could be just perfect for you. People move jobs around this time and could also be heading back home, not to return in 2019. They may be working through their notice right now - so the back-filling process will have already started. Continuing your job hunt during December also shows you’re a go-getter who’s not giving up regardless of the holiday season kicking in, while a lot of other jobseekers may slow down getting into party mode instead – reducing the competition further. Lastly – Job Advertising is our business so we get to see all the jobs and believe me, it’s not quiet at all this year!! So, get the Laptop out and get searching, you might just land yourself the perfect gift of a brand new opportunity for Christmas & New Year 2019! Best of Luck from the Team at JobAlert.ie
