Are you thinking that we’ve all taken off to Parrott Cay for the holidays? Or that we’re Down Under for that extended stay? No, we haven’t… and some of us even have recruiting assignments that require immediate attention. Some of us don’t celebrate this upcoming set of holidays – keep that in mind as you’re deciding whether or not to reach out to a HeadHunter at this time of year.
Maybe you should slow down your job search…not
Some of us are feeling a little mellow, and perhaps unwanted, as our corporate clients are focused on the company holiday party (of which they are often unwittingly in charge). Some of us are just eager to close the books on 2009. It has not been the recruiting year we all hoped for – the one that was going to improve, first in Q3, then in Q4 when the economists told us the recession was really over.
Keep active with job hunting, networking and follow-up
So try to reach out to that reluctant to return your call HeadHunter again – you do get points for manners and wishing us a happy holiday season, even if we don’t celebrate the same ones. And you may just get the response that you want – “I have a job that may be right for you, let’s talk about it”.|
