December is Cooking! Why Weight? Get Hired!
Last week I went back to Weight Watchers. After overdosing on Halloween candy in October and seamlessly partying though turkey in November I felt I'd better get back in, even with Christmas around the corner. I was tempted to do the "after the first of the year" procrastinating but I was scared to imagine what I would see in my mirror on January 1. Besides, no one starts a fitness program in December so I felt I would be unique!
Well, what to my wondering eyes should appear but a packed room full of Weight Watchers who were all getting a head start! If you know anything about human nature then you know how most of us of will use any excuse to procrastinate. So I was impressed that they had the strength and foresight NOT to wait till January 1.
What about you? Are you buying into the fact that no one gets hired in December? Is your job search on hold? Big mistake! Get your resume prepared now and begin doing your search immediately! December is the time to prepare... not January. January is the time to interview! We negotiated three job offers this week and have more people interviewing toward offers in December than I've seen since 2000. Don't get left behind!
