Springtime Is A Great Time To Get A Job!

Springtime is when new life blossoms. The cold and dreary change into fresh and brilliant colors. Hope begins anew!
This Spring should be much better than last Spring.
If you are negative, then perhaps we are in a bear market bounce (trap).
If you are positive, then perhaps the worst is over – the sun has come out and tomorrow never looked brighter.
My personal view is that storm clouds are in the future but this Spring should be the best opportunity in the last 18 months and perhaps the next 12 months.
Why?
- The overall market is up. The psychology is positive.
- The FED is stating that they will keep rates low.
- Housing has some movement. Condos in Miami are selling fast. Even though pricing is discounted, inventory is moving off the books.
- Investors are looking at discounted and high quality buying opportunities. Activity is picking up as toes are testing the waters.
- There is a pent-up demand for quality people. Companies have worked remaining employees hard and are beginning to ask for help.
Does that mean that the storm clouds are gone? Not at all. The White House suggests that we are in this unemployment trend for at least several years.
Why is this Spring better than Summer, Fall, or Winter?
- Summer usually has hiring doldrums
- This Fall is an election season that will dominate the media – and hiring manager mind-share
- This Winter is usually a holiday season followed by new budgets and renewed uncertainty
So, what are you doing to maximize your hiring chances this Spring?
