Career Work Focus

“It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” –While we listen to the Holiday jingles on our ra-dio, maneuver through the busy shopping malls and attend Holi-day gatherings, employment op-portunities may be knocking. Here are some ways to turn those opportunities into job offers. Holiday Party? Develop your Employment Network The Holiday season is a time of increased gatherings with numerous different social networks. The First Sergeant’s Spouse may know of a position that is hiring in their or-ganization, or another organization. Your best friend’s neighbor may be the hiring su-pervisor for an agency you have been long-ing to work for. Use this opportunity to mar-ket yourself. Be friendly and outgoing; be open about your career search when you visit with others. Let them know about your employment history and ask if they know of any openings. When you are seeking em-ployment you are always on spotlight. En-sure you leave a favorable memory that will be passed on to hiring employers. Remem-ber to keep alcoholic beverages to a mini-mum and be friendly with everyone.

Seasonal Positions Many Companies require additional man power during the Holiday season to meet the public need. Many seasonal positions turn into part time or full time positions after the season flurry is over. Take the opportunity to apply for a seasonal and show manage-ment just how valuable you are. When it is time to choose who stays and who goes, they will choose you for your hard work ethic and positive attitude.

Stay Positive The “Holiday Blues” can become over-whelming especially while unemployed, but remember: this is your opportunity to shine! Take on the challenge of gaining employ-ment during this time. While others are fo-cusing on the season and putting their career search on hold, you can work your opportu-nities. Remember to enjoy this time with your fam-ily, friends and loved ones this Holiday sea-son. Your hard work will pay off!
