Most people hit pause on their job search during the holidays because they feel like it’s not the best time and companies aren’t hiring. But that’s a huge myth! The “I’ll start in January” plan feels safe… but January is when everyone comes back at the exact same time with the exact same plan.
So today, Audrey and I are breaking down why this season can actually be one of the most strategic times to apply, and how waiting could put you behind instead of ahead.
We’re talking about:
Why job postings don’t suddenly stop just because it’s December
How end-of-year remaining budget can create open roles
Why competition is often dramatically lower right now
How seasonal or contract roles can quietly become full-time
And how holiday gatherings can actually make networking easier (yes, even if you hate networking)
If you’ve been feeling hesitant, discouraged, or stuck in “I’ll start later” mode, this episode is your permission to stop waiting for perfect timing and start taking aligned steps now.
Cheering you on,
Kelsey Kemp & Audrey Bagarus
