In our latest blog we discuss the benefits to starting your New Year job search this side of Christmas and best ways to find a role that is right for you...


Take advantage of the 'candidate market'

Many job seekers choose to take a break from their search over the Christmas period, meaning less competition during December.

Take time to update and refine your LinkedIn profile: hiring managers need to get the latest and most relevant information about you. By updating your social media presence at Christmas, you may get noticed quicker due to less competition throughout the holiday season.


Networking
