Step Up Your Networking during the Holidays

The holiday season is upon us. With holiday parties and family gatherings in abundance, you are provided with ample opportunities to network with family, friends,  current or former colleagues, etc. Whether you're in a job search or not, building and maintaining your network is a critical career management tool.

Be prepared to network by carrying business cards with you. If you're in a job search, have business cards printed which include your name, email address, phone number, customized LinkedIn URL, and job target. As you make new connections, be sure to invite them to connect with you on LinkedIn.

Many job-seekers slow down their job search during the holidays. This is a actually a good time for you to step up your job search. Why? There's less competition.
