Xmas
may be
best
time

to find
work

GORDON THOM of career
management firm Drake
Beam Morin offers timely
advice for those who find
themselves out of work over
the holiday period.

While many people tend to view
the festive season as lost time when
it comes to job hunting, Thom
says, ‘‘I encourage clients to polish
their resumes and do their
homework so that they are
prepared io hit the job market
hard as the new year begins.”’

If finding another job is top
priority, job searching over
Christmas can be rewarding right
now. Office routines are usually
upset by the holidays, people
whose buttons you need to push
may have more tinie for appoint-
ments during the workload
stowdown and they may be in a
more receptive mood.

Thom advocates taking the time

to answer ads, follow up query let- -

ters and taking advantage of
decreased competition while other
job-seekers wait until January.
