How to Maintain Job Search Momentum Through the Year-End



While it’s true that the Christmas and holiday break brings some changes to the hiring process, December can actually be the ideal time to follow up on job applications.   Here’s why: ...


✅ Hiring Managers Have More Time: 


With fewer meetings and distractions, this is a quieter period where decision-makers may have more time to review applications and make final decisions.


✅ End-of-Year Hiring:


Many companies are eager to finalise roles before the new year, meaning your follow-up could be the nudge they need to keep your application moving forward.


✅ Stand Out from the Crowd: 


As some candidates pause their job search over the holidays, following up ensures you stay visible and top of mind.


✅ Show Professionalism & Enthusiasm: 


A well-crafted, polite follow-up shows that you’re serious about the role and eager to join the team—even during a busy time of year.


So, if you’ve already applied or interviewed for a role this month, don’t wait until January to follow up. Reach out with a thoughtful message that expresses your continued interest and use the opportunity to build relationships for the future.


What can you do to keep your job search momentum happening?
