In the following article, we’ll explore why starting your job search in the fall gives you a strategic advantage and how you can set yourself up for success by the time the new year arrives.

Seize the Season ~ Why Now is the Best Time To Launch Your Job Search

When most people think about starting a job search, January typically comes to mind. It's a time of fresh starts and new resolutions; however, studies show that the most effective time to begin preparing for your next career move is actually in final months of the year. Starting your job search then allows you to get ahead of the competition and capitalize on companies' hiring needs as they prepare for the coming year.

The Benefits of Fall Job Search

Timing Advantage
Companies often plan their hiring cycles around their fiscal years, which makes fourth quarter an ideal time to begin preparing and positioning yourself for upcoming openings and a proactive, strategic job search campaign.

Less Competition
Many job seekers falsely assume that no one is focusing on hiring during the final months of the year, yet that's the furthest thing from the truth. Often times, it's easier to reach key decision makers, and between family gatherings and holiday parties, it's a great time to network.

Whether you're just starting your search or you've been actively looking for a while, focusing on networking and remaining actively engaged in your search during this time are a great competitive advantage. Don't let your foot off the pedal!

Key Components To Focus On (Especially If You're Just Starting Your Search)

Clarity On Your Next Opportunity ~ One Clear Vision 👆
The first step in preparing for your job search is gaining clarity on your next career move. What does the ideal opportunity look like for you? This phrase, sometimes referred to as "One Clear Vision", involves focusing on a singular vision of what you want. Whether it's a shift in industry, role, responsibilities or company culture, having clarity (One Clear Vision) on your goal/ideal opportunity is essential as it guides every other part of the job search process.

One Strong Resume and LinkedIn Profile (yes, you read that right!)
Your resume and LinkedIn profile should reflect your skills, experience and the value you bring to a potential employer, and should be directly geared to the role and responsibilities of your ideal opportunity (One Clear Vision).

Starting now gives you the time to refine these key pieces of your job search campaign so they are concise, targeted and ready to go when you begin your search in earnest in the new year.

Effective Messaging
Alongside ONE strong resume and LinkedIn profile geared to your next career move, your ability to articulate your skills, experiences and unique value is crucial. This is the time to ensure you can clearly and concisely communicate your unique value and the strengths you bring to the table, both in writing and when speaking with your network.

Preparing To Activate Your January Search

While the last few months of the year is the best time to lay the groundwork, January still remains a key time for action. Companies often have fresh hiring budgets and new opportunities open up at the start of the year.

By doing the heavy lifting -- clarifying your ONE CLEAR VISION, strengthening your resume and LinkedIn profile, honing your messaging, and building your network -- now, you'll be ready to hit the ground running when January rolls around.
