With hiring managers and recruiters away on leave, hiring decisions can often be put on hold, but that doesn’t mean your job search needs to halt. Here are seven tips for managing your job search when it feels like everyone is away at the beach.
1. Take advantage of the slower pace.
While hiring typically slows down during the summer, so do applications. Employers aren’t the only ones on vacation, candidates are too. So while there may be fewer jobs posted overall, you are likely to face less competition.
