Stop wasting time

Many professionals use the downtime of the holiday season to search for new job openings. There are many benefits of job searching during this time of the year. Firstly, you have more networking opportunities and have conversations with a diverse range of people, which can open you up to ideas and opportunities you may not have considered before. And even though fewer jobs may be advertised, at least you have more time to apply!

In this episode recorded earlier this year, I share 7 strategies that I believe can help you job hunt during the festive season, even if you are traveling. I recorded this episode after having traveled and worked for 50 days, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it went.

I also started noticing that some clients are more productive than others. So I started paying attention to common traits my clients have that allow them to move ahead of the game and speed up results in their job searches. So, here are the 7 qualities and strategies that I have identified as successful job-hunting strategies when I work with my clients. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode.
