Best Time of the Year to Look for a New Job?
According to Top Resume, the best time of the year to look for a new job is now.
January and February are two of the best months to look for long-term, full-time jobs since these are the months most companies receive updated budgets and sales forecasts. Executives have a better idea of what they need and whether they can afford to hire new team members, which leads career advisors to consider these the top months for hiring.
CareerSidekick concurs and provides an additional reason.
Many companies also pay annual bonuses in December, so a lot of people wait until January to change jobs. Companies expect this so they look to make lots of new hires in January. One more reason it’s a great time of year to search for jobs.
Albeit a few years old, the numbers bear out that January is the best time to search for new jobs. Business News Daily reported:
Per Monster’s 2018 Year in Jobs report, January continues to be the busiest month for job searches, with eight of the top 10 days for job searching landing in January,” said Monster career expert Vicki Salemi, referring to the data available for that fiscal year. “The key to reaching your new-year job goals and landing a new job, however, is to maintain momentum well beyond January.
