Maintain Holiday Momentum

The holiday season is a great time to maintain momentum with your job search. Outside of the retail industry being very busy, the holiday season provides other managers an opportunity to read resumes or follow up with potential candidates.

If you have sent resumes or had interviews in the last few weeks, now is an excellent time to follow up with a holiday card. Grab a box of cards at your nearest 99 cent store. Inserting a business card is preferable with a hand written note (thank you for taking time to meet with me on . . . Happy New etc).

Remember; out of sight, out of mind. The holiday card follow up keeps your name in front the hiring manager. Just like commercials, brand yourself with the holiday card "Happy New Year" follow up.

Cheers!!

The purpose of a resume is to obtain an INTERVIEW, not a job. Landing a job is up to you during the interview.
