Companies don't filter, interview, or hire during the holidays? Sure they do.
Congrats to M.B.
Discussions started around Thanksgiving week (huh?). Got an offer on Christmas week - Monday, December 22nd (huh?). And a good offer despite pivoting from one function to another. Albeit industry adjacent, M.B. didn't fall for the job search myths and stated his case so well, the company decided his relevant experience "playing for the other team" will be of benefit to their "play calling and ex*****on."
Lesson reinforced. "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take," famously said by hockey legend Wayne Gretzky (though originating from his father).
I'll say it again (and again and again and again). Next week the "holiday" falls in the middle-end of the week. Should we kick back and let the week pass us by? Talk ourselves out of applying and prepping for interviews? Are we socially hungover now and will be even more so next week? Probably. I know I will be. Doesn't matter though. Just like M.B. did so well - Keep up your activity, target roles and functions in your orbit, and be the solution to a company's need.
Ah! Gift certificates have been a hit thus far and remain available. Perhaps change someone's life as they into the New Year? Contact me at jeremy@worthingtonresumes or text/call me at 614-861-6606 to learn more.
