ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS…A NEW JOB

With Christmas fast approaching, the idea of searching for a new job may not be top of everybody’s list. The festive season is generally one of the busiest periods of the year for many people, usually involving a whirlwind of shopping, cooking, and Christmas parties. What you may not realise is that the same flurry of seasonal activity is also reflected in the local job market.

Hays Construction & Property, the UK’s leading specialist recruitment consultancy with an office in Exeter on Southernhay East, has found that the majority of employers are actually looking to hire people prior to Christmas so that they are ready to start fresh in the New Year. Hays Construction & Property is currently looking to fill many roles – everything from surveyors and engineers to tradesmen and labourers – and those people with experience will find that they are particularly in demand.

Nick Crawley, section manager at Hays Construction & Property, comments ‘’If people think that Christmas and New Year is a quiet time for jobseekers they should think again. Waiting until the New Year may mean missing out on some of the fantastic opportunities available in the construction sector. Although Christmas is already a busy period, it is worth taking some time out from the seasonal hustle and bustle to consider your career.”
