However, you might not have the resources you need. If that's the case, there's no use fretting about it. Career experts recommend that job seekers should relax - and exploit local resources or even return to campus early. Take self-assessment tests, visit career center libraries, and attend job fairs and networking events. Break is a good time to set up informational interviews with college alumni.
Many colleges stay open during the holidays and offer resources for students and non-students alike.
While resume building and researching is an important part of your job search, winter break is really the best time for networking. Talk to as many people as possible. Indeed, the confidence and charm you naturally display in social interactions is also a plus when it comes to networking. If you can get e-mail addresses, you can take your time and compose messages from home. While job seeking over the winter break might seem like an incredibly burdensome undertaking, don't underestimate the perks of the process.
