Here's what happens and remember those 350 companies i was telling you about like the
consulting and all the recruiting and all the stuff okay so for 30 something years i've been
working so i've seen three up and down markets i've seen this i've seen this i've seen cratering
doesn't make any difference it doesn't make any difference what is happening in mass as far
as markets employment markets stock markets and whatever most companies and when i say most we're
talking about 99 most companies uh follow this pattern where uh and and while not all companies
are on a fiscal year that coincides to the calendar year meaning they run january to december
most of them do yes there are companies that run april to april yes there are companies that run
june to june right we don't need to get in the argument that that's possibility of course that
happens but but most organizations regardless of the market they're mentally wired and and from a
budgetary standpoint wired and from a recruitment standpoint wired they go january to january every
october what happens is a lot of them not all a lot they go into evaluation mode planning mode
looking at the year wanting to finish strong we got a couple more months we got to finish up the
projects and all that good stuff what what does the next year look like so say 2021 okay what's
that going to look like how much do we need to budget right because they have to figure out
what their projects are and all of that good stuff because they have to go through appropriations and
all that good stuff in the committee meetings need to meet and they have to get signed off from their
boss and that stuff doesn't happen overnight and it certainly doesn't happen in a meeting or during
that month and then what happens is all that stuff that gets all situated through the end through the
end of the year now in november when november rolls around what happens is they realize okay
well we we know we're gonna have to recruit for people to start in january for our new projects
with our new budgets and all this other good stuff and they probably have some pretty good visibility
to what that is well recruitment doesn't happen overnight it's not like they come in in january
2nd and then all of a sudden they're able to find and find and hire the people on january 2nd
no they've only basically got eight weeks starting now until the end of the year and they don't even
really have eight weeks because they're out on vacation for thanksgiving and christmas and
whatever other holidays that they're that they're celebrating not everybody's there
so what they do is they go into panic mode and then they start they start elevating
their recruitment this doesn't even get into the fact that people retire at the end of the
year they call it quits right all that good stuff and what else happens people leave
and employers know that people are going to surprise them in january and leave so not only
do i have to hire for the people that i know i need i have to start getting a pipeline together
for people that i know are going to leave that i don't know who specifically is going to leave
but i need to make sure that this thing is up and firing and all that good stuff
now why should you be taking advantage of it because everybody who's not watching me right now
thinks that employers mail it in at the end of the year and nothing could be further from the truth
okay so then a lot of employ a lot of job seekers think well i'll just you know maybe i'll kick
the you know my resume in order i'll kick some tires but i i'm going to kind of dial it because
nobody's really going to be there all right well that's why you need to be putting the accelerator
down getting yourself in order and making sure that you know what to do how to start reaching out
to people and all that good stuff not to mention networking is going to be so vital for a lot of
you this is a great time just to connect with people right reach out to people who you've been
wanting to talk to start getting engaged it's just a wonderful time for all that engagement to occur
book employers are going to be hiring as a matter of fact i circulated something on my
youtube channel a couple of weeks ago we i had people commenting they are recruiters they said
this is exactly what we're going through right now we've just elevated all of our recruitment efforts
so this happens don't mail it in so the reason i'm having the five day job search challenge
november 16th through the 20th this year is i had it the same week last year i think it was the 18th
through the 22nd uh you know we had the leap year and the days move a couple days but
it's it's it's really important and i'm going to be showing you during that week some of the
messaging that i've been getting this year and last year what was happening for people who were
getting engaged who were shocked at how much response they were getting to their messages
believe me when i tell you this is the best time because employers need to have you in the seats
in january november december january and and and february 2 are the best months to jobs and i don't
say that every month october's the worst month statistically to get a job now i'm sure some of
you got jobs i know a number of you got jobs and i know a lot of the bootcampers got jobs because
i get the emails every day but i'm telling you now is the best time to search it is it it just
it is and if you want a little more on this uh last november i cut and clipped a video that went
out i believe it was november 27th the video came out about why now is the best time to job search
and i literally think it is titled why now was the best time to job search if you want to check that
out there's more color in there but that that's why it's every year doesn't make any difference
it doesn't make any difference it doesn't make any difference every year
every year that's what happens and and wait let me throw one more on there and even those companies
that go april to april may to may june to june whatever they know that people are very mobile
at the beginning of the year so they raised their recruitment efforts because they want to snag the
the people who do not look throughout the year but tend to look at the end of the year right because
i'm not happy i didn't get my promotion i'm not happy i didn't get my raise my company didn't you
know the corporate bonuses weren't there and all that good stuff so they try to snag people i i was
consulting for a construction company construction company made in may is may is their big season
we started looking for people in in january because they wanted to beat the rush
right we know we want to pluck them now so that's just another example that goes to show you
uh that that regardless of what where the fiscal year is now is the time it is the time
anybody who tells you to mail it in that's just flat out wrong so i hope that helps
you
