[image: Top Ten Holiday Job Search Tips] *Dear Peter,*

With Thanksgiving days away, and winter holidays just around the corner,
it's easy to fall into a "turkey coma" and forget all about your plans for
the job search. Don't let it happen to you!

We've compiled our top ten tips for holiday job hunting to help you along
the way. Of course, the team at
JobBound.com<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=slb57qbab&et=1103930113918&s=19009&e=001AMZOfAwK3d5Oa2joDikBSQo5UWGTwL31SlfFG16lXhAaGFsRlCd3YLqjT_oI0nxqn7MZhEEfEdca-e01CHRNXUQzOymvYefOA4LCrHbjTUgBTXdiUyH5nQ==>is
here to help if you need advice or assistance at any point.

[image: 10.] Get LinkedIn
Use the downtime throughout the holidays to create and perfect your
presence on LinkedIn.

[image: 9.] Go Shopping on Black Friday
Business attire is expensive, but a must have. Take advantage of
the sales on Black Friday and catch a deal on a sharp
interview outfit.
[image: 8.] Schmooze with your family.
You may think your inlaws are crazy, but they do have jobs AND connections.

[image: 7.] Put your business card in holiday cards.
Hit up recruiting directors with whom you interviewed and also include your
well-connected friends.

[image: 6.] Set one job search goal every day.
And no eggnog until you complete it!

[image: 5.] Get a temporary job.
...Especially if you need experience or funds. Who knows, you might be the
lucky temp who gets hired full-time.

[image: 4.] Attend the "ugly sweater" holiday party.
Get out there to meet new people and expand your network. Who said the job
search couldn't be fun?

[image: 3.] Make some calls to Recruiting Directors.
Sure, you've memorized their voicemail, but during the holidays, you have a
better chance of catching recruiting directors at their desk.

[image: 2.] Fine tune your resume.
You know it, and I know it. Your resume could use a little help. Finally,
you have a little down time to give it the attention it deserves.

[image: 1.] Volunteer and help out your community.
You gain experience, you meet people, you feel good, and you momentarily
forget that you don't have a job yet.
