Tis the Season

Is this the worst time to find a job? I've given up on looking in the month of December. There are the temporary options of course - seasonal positions - 99% of which pay less than the unemployment check that I'm getting each week. Everyone is busy trying to balance holiday obligations with their work-load. And if you are in the health insurance industry - its the last minute renewal rush making you frantic. Even HR people are pretty busy making benefit changes, etc that are going to be effective January 1st. What to do..

-Keep looking and applying. Even if no hiring will be happening in the month of December, it may look brighter after January 1st.

-Look for volunteer opportunities to keep networking opportunities alive.

-Enjoy the holidays. Relax and appreciate some of the most wonderful gifts of all - family and friends.
