Right now the weather isn’t the only thing cooling off. Many job seekers are putting their searches on freeze, wrongly assuming no employers are looking to hire during the holiday season. However the jolly guy in the red suit isn’t the only one hiring this winter season. Plenty of companies and industries are ramping up hiring. And hunting during the cold winter months might actually be the best way to beat the competition.
It may sound corny, but it’s true: The job search is a journey, not a destination. Your interests may change, your skills can transfer, and things may work out differently than you once imagined. I’m a prime example of that.
For instance, I started out in social services, went on to real estate, started volunteering, went back to school for my MBA in healthcare, became a nursing home administrator, and then became part of CareerShift. For me, it was more about the journey — ensuring my interests guided that journey, and finding opportunities that matched where I was at different points in my life.

Compounding shrinking employment indicators is the fact that most college graduates lack the basic skills to compete for the jobs they want.
