Companies hiring this week Posted: 29 Nov 2011 07:48 AM PST Thanksgiving may be over, but the holiday season is just getting started. If you're a job seeker, you may be tempted to shelve your job search for the next few weeks in order to enjoy the season, but resisting that temptation could help you land a job in the New Year. For one, staying focused on your job search when many others do take a break means you'll face less competition for jobs. Plus, holiday parties and gatherings present all sorts of great networking opportunities, so keeping your career goals in mind while attending these functions could help you make valuable connections. "The holidays are full of networking opportunities that people often miss," says Annette Richmond, founder of Career-Intelligence.com, an online career resource for women. "The first thing to remember is that you never know where you’re going to meet your next great connection so you need to always be ready." When attending holiday events, carry business cards, dress professionally and have a few icebreakers in mind to help you make introductions to fellow partygoers. Another great holiday job search tip?
