Header (H2) Resignations are unpredictable

You’ve read it on countless blogs and you’ve been warned by your peers, friends and family that summer isn’t the optimal time to search for a new job. With management and decision-makers taking vacations, there’s truth to this in many cases. However, this certainly is not the case in our experience! In fact, summer has historically been an incredibly busy time here at Clarity ー one of our busiest seasons of the year! Here’s why you shouldn’t give up on your search over the summer or push pause until fall. We also have some tips on how to make the season of relaxation work for you!

A bullet list looks like this

  • Warmer months are the best time to head out after work to meet new people. Hands down! Clarity recruiters have met candidates and new clients in all kinds of places, and often spontaneously. From casual chatter with neighboring diners at a restaurant, to happenstance subway conversations ー these situations and more have resulted in Clarity placements. Once in a while, remember to pull the earbuds out and keep your head up ー you never know who you’ll meet!
  • Attend networking events to meet great new people in that field. It might sound cliche, and, it is easy to get turned off to networking networking in NYC has come a long way! There are so many great panel discussions and curated events going on all over the city, that don’t have the same stodgy feel of traditional networking.
    Here are some we like:
    LMHQ Events
    Six Degrees Society ー you will see some Clarity faces on this upcoming panel on JUNE 27th!
    A classic meetup is always a great idea – follow your interests!
  • Curious about a new industry but don’t know how your skills fit into it? Strike up conversations with new friends you make in your summer social activities ー ask about what people’s day-to-day responsibilities are in fields of interest. Even if their company isn’t hiring, maybe they can introduce you to a new connection that is! Networking can happen anywhere!
  • Remember: People love giving advice and they also love sharing their experience. That informational interview with someone from college a few years ahead of you, or a former manager that’s moved to a new company you follow on social media, is only an ask away.
