With the upcoming holidays, many job seekers decide to take a break from their search until after the holidays are over. It can be a challenge to juggle getting ready for the holidays while keeping a job hunt moving forward. Many believe that employers stop hiring during this time, but that is not always the case. Employers will hire when they need employees, no matter what time of the year. A slower holiday season for some businesses can mean a good time to hire and on-board more employees. Are you torn between calling it quits until after the New Year or keeping the search going through the holidays? Here are our reasons to keep the job search going throughout the holiday season.


Less competition. Since so many job seekers take a break from their search there is less competition in the job market. By keeping your job search going you could get an interview that you might not have gotten during another time of the year when the job market was more competitive.

Many organizations, chambers of commerce and businesses hold holiday events encouraging networking among employers and job seekers. 

Having a job set for after the New Year. Start your New Year off fresh and stress-free with a new job! By continuing your search during the holidays you increase your chances of securing a job for after the New Year. You'll have a set compensation and your budget in order.

Extra money for the Holidays. By finding or searching for a job during the holidays you can increase your budget for holiday spending.You will have the peace of mind of knowing that you have a job to go to and save the stress of having to look for a job after the New Year. 

A temporary job could turn into a permanent one. If you are hired even for a temporary position, there is always the possibility that it can turn into a permanent one. If you make a good impression on your employer the job could be yours permanently.

An Interview with Vidya Sankaranarayanan from Brihadisha

Image
The meaning of Vidya in Sanskrit is knowledge, but many more adjectives sprang to my mind during this interview. Vidya to me came across as a highly passionate, principled, strong and fiercely independent woman. She is a remarkable dancer who has been blessed by some legendary teachers in the world of Bharatanatyam. Here are some snippets our very interesting conversation. Please tell me how you came up with the name Brihadisha for your dance school? Brihadisha is the primary idol in the Tanjore temple. Tanjore is where my Guru hails from, and where I learned Bharatanatyam. I relate Tanjore to my Guru, Shri K.P. Kittappa Pillai. His family was settled in Tanjore for several years, and were patronized by the Maratha King Sarfoji. I spent most of my summer holidays learning dance at my guru’s home. It was a second home to me. My guru’s ancestors have written several compositions on Brihadisha. To me, Brihadisha and Tanjore are synonymous to each other so I felt it was apt to n...

An Interview with Gladys Burke from ADJ Enterprises

Image
I t’s not every day that you meet a successful, grounded entrepreneur who is always ready to help the community and other entrepreneurs grow. So, I am really happy and excited to be meeting Gladys Burke, owner of ADJ Enterprises and getting to talk to her about her entrepreneurial journey. Tell me about ADJ Enterprises and your entrepreneurial work here? That is interesting what got me started. It goes two-fold. One is when I had my first child and fell in absolute love with him and being a mom. I was new to the area and didn’t know anyone here. So I wanted to do something that would allow me to take care of him myself. The flexibility of managing your time by having your own business appealed to me. Family is my utmost priority. Also, at that point I was trying to break into broadcasting and journalism. I faced some difficulty here from a race relations standpoint for opportunities. I decided I am never going to let one person determine my destiny. And that is why I...
