Summer Job Search

For some jobseekers, job searching in the summer months may seem futile - employers take longer than usual to respond; job seekers may think that most employers are not hiring in the summer and if they do, they are only hiring students.

But, actually, for most employers this is not the case. Regardless of the time of year, employees continue to exit jobs, new contracts are secured, businesses expand, and opportunities for job seekers open up. Many employers continue to hire over the summer and may be more apt to begin interviewing sooner than later due to the slowing down of daily business allowing interviewers more time to cull through resumes and organize interviews.

Therefore, it is in the interest of the jobseeker to not lose momentum over the summer.  It is important to continue to act on job leads quickly and efficiently including follow up.

And because so many jobseekers fall into the trap of slowing down their searches over the summer, this opens up more opportunities for those who continue to search. So, keep at it!  Don't let the summer slow you and your search down. And before you know it, you will see the light at the end of the job search tunnel!
