I realize it's mid-November and the Christmas décor has already draped many stores for an entire month, but your career doesn't take a holiday (nor do I).

Today, I'm serving up a major lesson on why now is literally THE BEST time to job search.

You're at the start line of a 3-month hiring frenzy.

It doesn't matter whether the year is 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020 or 2024 or any other years I omitted.

It doesn't matter what you do. Who you are. Who you were. Or, who you want to be.

It's the SAME every single year.

As an executive recruiter, I could have rolled out of bed on Halloween.

Worked until the end of January.

And taken the rest of the year off.

Every year.

Employers start hiring like crazy NOW.

You might consider me nutso for thinking this.

After all, it's contrary to what most think.

But just because many think it doesn't make it so.

I'll debunk the myth for you.

What's more, I'll teach you how to swap out couch duty for my Job Search Challenge®.

That way you'll know exactly how to approach this target-rich, job-searching time.

There's no time to waste.

Just like I said right there on page 313 of The Zebra Code in Chapter 21 My Gift to Find Your Gift (which, by the by, is my all-time favorite chapter and prose I've ever written)…

"Have faith that true champions are made in the darkness. They're the ones that practice before the sun rises. The treasure that time and know their effort is what will help them make a better life for themselves and others."

Let's get to it!
