- ” Don’t forget it’s the holidays for hiring managers, too,” says Glassdoor.com. “Don’t expect too many interviews during the season. It’s the holidays for hiring managers and recruiters too, so like everyone else, they might be distracted, stressed, or on vacation. That doesn’t mean you should stop applying or get frustrated. Just be mindful of this as you continue your search.”
- Volunteer! If possible take time to give back. This will surely add new work experience to your resume.
