September Surge is Starting

Companies have had hiring surges in September through early November for decades. However, only recently has this phenomenon become to be known as the “September Surge”. This hiring occurs at all levels, from the C-suite to temporary customer service representatives.

If you had stopped looking for a new executive-level job, it’s now a good time to restart your search. Endeavor Agency’s data shows that the September Surge period is our busiest time of year for our clients getting hired.

SEPTEMBER SURGE JOB SEARCH TIPS:

  • Networking: Building and maintaining a strong professional network is crucial for executive job seekers. Attend industry and non-industry events, join online forums, and connect with peers and colleagues throughout the month.
  • Update Your LinkedIn Profile and Resume: Ensure that your LinkedIn profile and resume are current and showcases your skills, achievements, and career progression. Use keywords relevant to your industry.
  • Cover Letter: Tailor your cover letter to each job application. Highlight your relevant accomplishments and skills. Demonstrate how you can provide value to the potential employer.
  • Stay Informed: Keep up with industry trends and news. Knowledge of current events and industry-specific developments can be valuable in job interviews.
  • Online Job Boards: Use online job boards and professional networking sites to search for executive-level positions.
  • Develop a Personal Brand: Establish yourself as a thought leader in your field by sharing your expertise through blogs, articles, or speaking engagements.
  • Prepare for Interviews: Brush up on your interview skills. Practice answering common executive-level interview questions and be ready to discuss your achievements and leadership style.
  • Consider Consultation or Interim Roles: If you’re having difficulty finding a permanent executive position, consider interim or consulting roles to maintain your skills and stay active in your industry.
  • Be Patient and Persistent: The executive job search process can take time. Be patient and stay persistent in your efforts. Keep refining your approach based on feedback and results.
