Job-hoppers leave early-year vacancies
20/2/2003 16:02
Jobs are relatively easy to find at the beginning of the year, as
job-hopping creates more openings, the Youth Post reported today.
People
are more likely to change jobs early in the year, after receiving their year-end
bonus.
Moreover, company business plans usually provide for new staff
recruitment at the beginning of the year, said an industry
analyst.
Because a lot of people are on vacation at the start of the
year, many job seekers, especially university graduates, assume that few
companies will be recruiting at that time. On the contrary, that's the best time
to find a job, because many posts have been left vacant by job-hoppers, the
analyst said.
For example, an opening usually attracts about 100
applicants during the rest of the year, but may attract only 20 in February,
drastically reducing the competition, he added.
