"Employers aren’t hiring this time of year."

"No one will review my application until well after New Year's."

"It's the holidays -- sending my resume now would be a waste of time."

Many job seekers believe that December and January are slow hiring months and “take a vacation” from their job hunt. If you do, you could be missing out. Hiring never takes a holiday, and recruiters are always on the hunt for new talent.

While other candidates delay, you could be capitalizing on this window of opportunity. With fewer resumes coming in, hiring managers may have more time to review your qualifications. By sending your resume now, you could gain the upper hand over your competition.

No matter what time of year, whenever you see an interesting job posting on LatPro you should always apply promptly. If you wait, that plum position could go to someone else!
