Don't Discount the Month of December for Job Hunting

A lot of people who are unemployed assume no one is hiring after Thanksgiving and don't really bother to job search until the new year.

Granted, between Christmas and New Year's, most companies grind to a halt. However, earlier in December, there are people available to talk to about employment in just about every company in the Tampa Bay area. And while they may not post their jobs now (because they won't be filled until the first of the year), there are jobs to be had! 

If you talk to someone and make a positive impression, they may ask you to forward your resume. You may be way ahead of those who are "taking a vacation" from job hunting until 2012. Something to think about ...
