In a counseling session last week, I worked with a young woman in her mid-20's that informed me that Gen-X had "checked out" and "abandoned the Millenials."
She was feeling out of sorts because she had observed that many Gen-Xers seemed to be "trucking along" by successfully managing their relationships, their careers, and their money. She, on the other hand, felt like she was "struggling in all aspects" of her life.
Job seekers often believe that no hiring takes place over the holidays. As a result, they stop pursuing job leads with the intentions of restarting their job search after the New Year. But stopping your job search over the holidays means stopping your pipeline, and it will take more time to restart it later. Keep the job search momentum going over the holidays, and use the New Year as inspiration to achieve your career goals.
