Job Hunting in 2020? Get Moving Now!
There are plenty of reasons to look for a new job. Maybe you didn't get the raise you were hoping to snag, or maybe, despite being qualified, you've once again gone a full year without a promotion. Even if your motivation to job hunt boils down to simply wanting a change, the start of a new year is a great time to get that search going. So if you've yet to dust off your resume, it's time to get moving.
Though there's no saying you won't get a new job if you kick off your search later in the year, hiring tends to pick up substantially in January and February. The reason? At that point, budgets have been renewed for the year and employers have the money to start bringing in new staff.
In addition, those tasked with hiring tend to be slow during the holidays, when absences are common and funds are frozen until the new year kicks off. As such, internal recruiters are often eager to get moving on posting jobs in January.
