The advantages of a summer job search are really quite astounding. Most of the year your resume will be one of hundreds or possibly even thousands, all hopeful to secure the opportunity for a job interview. The competition is fierce, especially with an economic downturn creating record job loss rates throughout North America. What if your resume was only one in thirty instead of one in one hundred? 

Unknown to many, July and August are the best months for job seekers. Why? Because 70% of your competitors withdraw from their job search! Whether this consistent phenomenon is due to those who would rather spend their summers at the cottage or those who don’t believe a successful job search is possible during these months, the fact is, should you decide to stay in the race, your opportunity to reach the finish line just got that much greater!

Now is the time to ramp up your job search and take advantage of the summer months. You’ve just blown away 70% of your competition and all you had to do was stay in the race!
