Knobull Helps Pick The Best Timing For A Job Hunt

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Oct. 2, 2023 - PRLog -- Lynn Bentley, President of Knobull reported, "Not all times of the year are equal when it comes to seeking out a new job. The most opportune times are when you're happy and succeeding at work, during the first few weeks of September and the start of the new year."

Look For A New Job When You're Feeling Positive

Although this may run counter to what you might think, individuals should look for a new job when they are at peace and flourishing in their current role.

You'll perform better in the interview process when you are confident and feel good about yourself.

When the job market is tough, it's easy for the hiring manager to take a hard pass on the applicant with a poor attitude and move on to the next candidate. Working with a career coach like JobStars at the Knobull homepage can help.

January And February Are The Top Months To Apply For Jobs

A week or so into January and February are two of the best times to engage in a job search. The beginning of a new year is a joyous time when people feel like they are starting fresh with a clean slate.

Based on the outcomes, workers decide to stay or feel the pressure to leave of their own volition rather than suffer the fate of waiting to get the ax. Taking edX courses from the Knobull homepage during mid summer and late fall, strengthens skills to present.

Search For A New Job After The Summer Is Over

Like January, September is an ideal time to get into search mode. The summer is over, and workers experience the equivalent of the back-to-school mindset when they were kids. The wheels start turning again in September; jobs are posted online, and the hiring cycle kicks into gear.

The summer and holiday season, starting around Thanksgiving, are the most difficult to interview since most companies slow down during those periods.

The Best Days To Submit Your Résumé For A Job

The best days to submit a résumé are mid-week or later. The "Sunday scaries" push people to send their résumés out to employers, as the dread of Monday looming forces them to reevaluate their jobs and lives.

Bentley concluded, "Toward the end of the week, the résumé submittals dwindle. It might be worthwhile to send in your résumé on Thursday or Friday, as there will be less competition, and your résumé will stick out in a less-crowded field."
