Many people think December is a horrible time to start job hunting when in reality it is quite the contrary. Many businesses are getting ready to make employee changes, in fact many have already done their layoffs. How many people do you know who have been laid off two weeks before Christmas or the week before Christmas? This happens when companies start their new fiscal year on January 1st. If they get rid of people after January 1st, they have to carry their names on their records for the entire upcoming year. By letting them go before the end of the year they do not have to do that.
Many companies are not actually “downsizing” their companies, they are just getting rid of “dead wood”! So go ahead now and get your resumes and cover letters submitted so that they can be reviewed and possibly even have an offer of employment to begin on January 1st!
Good luck in your job hunting endeavors!
