All I want for Christmas...is a brand new job

I came across a blog on LinkedIn this morning that sets out the reasons why continuing to job hunt in the holidays is a good idea. Accepted wisdom is that everything shuts down for the holiday and your CV will sit gathering dust on the desk of the hiring manager until January.

However, many offices are open over the festive period and because the pace of regular business activity slows, managers with positions to fill might have more time to spend on recruitment matters. If you have already got your CV or interview in over the holidays, you are in an excellent position to beat all those who have "find a new job" as their new year's resolution.
