🎉 Should You Holiday From Job Hunting During The Holidays?

Holiday job search do's and don'ts.

You might vacation, you might have extended family meals and you might have friends hosting house parties. Enjoy them all and keep these five pointers in mind.

1) Don’t actively job search on a holiday weekend

…unless you live in a country that has a holiday weekend every weekend (I’m looking at you, France every May).

A recent study said that many people get their best ideas in the shower because:

  1. A lot of dopamine is released in our brains. Triggers like exercising, listening to music, and, yes, taking a warm shower, contribute to increased dopamine flow.
  2. We’re relaxed. When we have a relaxed state of mind, we’re more likely to turn attention inwards, able to make insightful connections. 
  3. We’re distracted. Distraction gives our brains a break so our subconscious can work on a problem more creatively. 

Those conditions should hold true on holiday weekends too.

Not thinking about your job search during the holidays could be the best thing for your job search after the holidays.

2) Do enjoy the time away

… from your computer screen, job boards, email, application forms, LinkedIn messages to congratulate other people on their new jobs, cover letters, work portfolios, job fairs, followups, references, background checks, networking events, interview preparations, graphology tests, recruiters, job search blogs (ahem) and everything else related to your next paycheck.

3) Don’t be embarrassed to talk about your job search

Millions of people are dealing with the same issues that you are, and millions more will begin to do so in the coming months. It might be uncomfortable and hard, even, but it’s normal and nothing to be ashamed about.

In fact, most of the adults you see or meet during your holiday weekend will have been through more than one job search of their own and will know what you’re going through.

4) Do be prepared with a good answer to “how’s your job search going?”

One of the reasons people are ashamed to admit they’re job hunting (during the holidays or at all) is because they don’t have good answers to that question, so when they hem and haw, it sounds like they’re not progressing or even sure what to do next.

That might even be true – it was for me on my first and second job searches – but that doesn’t mean you have to leave a bad impression by showing it outright.

Instead, have a good elevator pitch about what you do best and, if people bring it up, casually reply by asking if they know any companies that need people like you.

Mention your most recent job search success, no matter how small, such as an upcoming job interview or a compliment from a recruiter.

And finally…

5) Do bring business cards

Did you know that job seekers need business cards too?

Have simple but professional business cards that say you consult in your industry or area of expertise, and hand them out to those same questioners. They’ll come away impressed, the right way.

Udemy currently has over 80,000 online video courses available on their site, but the vast majority are paid.

Fortunately, some creators have made their courses free, which is great news for both job seekers who can and can't afford the paid courses.

Also good to know is that these free job search courses are full versions, and not just short teaser versions of more complete, paid courses.

You can really take your job search to a higher level by taking a free job searching course to address a challenge you're having, to get faster results or simply to learn a new tactic that could open more doors for you.

And as of this writing, there's no limit to the number of free courses you can take.

Browse the list and set aside some time to try the courses that sound most appealing for your current job search…

… or a future one, because owning a Udemy course gets you lifetime access to it. As long as the course still exists, you'll always be able to access it, even if the creator decides to make it a paid course later.
