Summer fun or summer job search?

With this economy many people are asking themselves this question. Should I take the summer off or should I go full tilt into a job search? Can you afford to be out of the job search market in the summer? No you cannot!

An incredible 70% of job searchers fall out of the market in July and August, providing significant opportunities to strike gold for the remaining 30%.

Yes, due to vacations, the recruitment period can be lengthened, but resist the opportunity to put your job search on hold.

The trick to a successful job search is to stay on track; it’s easy to get distracted with other activities. Stay focused; don’t get frustrated when interviews are cancelled. Use this time to conduct further research into other job opportunities and move forward. How forward will you be?
By September when the 70% return to the market you will either be way ahead of the pack or have secured a new appointment. How enticing is this?
