The holidays are already stressful, but they can be especially difficult if you are looking for work. This time of year is often filled with decorating, giving gifts, traveling, and attending parties, which can put extra pressure on families that are financially burdened. It may feel overwhelming to look for work when everyone is so busy. Here are a few suggestions of how you can make it through the holidays.

Continue Your Job Search

Keep building your network and reaching out to contacts to be aware of potential job opportunities.
