An actual and rather interesting question. There is an opinion that in December employers are not so active in their search. We will give the answer of the TheJobBored blog and share our own experience.
The expert of the Western resource agrees that the last month of the year is really the calmest in terms of job search. However, he suggests looking at it from the other side:
— The number of applicants (your competitors) is less. In January, this number will increase many times. Starting now, you get an advantage.
By applying for a job now, you get an additional opportunity to get to know your colleagues better and learn more about the company and your work in an informal setting at various festive events, of which there are plenty in December.In our experience, the end of the year is the most favorable time to look for a job. A large number of employers are interested in starting the new year without having problems with personnel. That is why they are searching in December. As for potential employees, many, on the contrary, prefer to finish at the old place before the end of the year, and to search in January. Do you feel it? There is demand, but there is no supply. Go ahead!
