When looking for a job, understanding the recruitment cycle is very important to ensure success. There are seasonal variations in hiring which recruiters and employers agreed on. You can have an edge if you could align your job search plan with the recruitment cycle of industries which usually fall on the same periods.
Monster.com has an interesting article that deals with recruitment cycle. It provides a quarter by quarter summary of the hiring dynamics. It is a good resource for job seekers who are always on the go to get the job they want. Remember that when it comes to employment, timing plays a very important role. So make sure you are always hitting the road to employment on time.
I recommend you read the article to learn about how the recruitment cycle works.

Job hunting is not easy especially if you are new to it like those newly graduate who look for a job, or those under graduate who cannot continue their studies because of financial constraint. that’s why i suggest to those who are new to job hunting to ask your friend how did they do their first job hunting experience. one way that i call traditional job hunting is going to different companies and asking if they have vacancy. if they have no vacancy they will ask you to leave your resume so that they can contact you if they you for future reference. but i don’t suggest this type of job hunting because it requires a lot of effort, time, and money. imagine you will walk to and fro to look for a job and then you will spend money for your food, transportation, and miscellaneous. but then you are still not sure if you will be accepted. what a waste of time and effort?
