No matter what you celebrate, you know that Santa Claus is coming to town in a big way this weekend. We all know what Mr. Claus brings with him - flying reindeer, wrapped gifts, and… job advice?

That's right. Just when you thought that Santa couldn't get any more awesome, he has more goodies up his sleeve.


Always adapt

Since Santa started his operation just under 200 years ago, a lot of things have changed. Electricity, computers, and the Internet are just a few things that Santa has had to adapt to on the job - he even has a Facebook page!

If new job search tools and strategies are foreign to you, don't hide behind excuses- learn! Anyone can adapt and develop themselves as job seekers and workers, it just takes time.

Stick with what works


Remember to research



Old-fashioned is OK

Santa is an old-fashioned guy and that's totally fine. We all still like him anyway, right?


Don't let your age define you

Santa is approximately 191 years old (yet he doesn't look a day over 150, and is as spry as a teenager!) and he's still going strong. If you're an older job seeker, don't wallow and make excuses that this is a young person's game. The more you believe that you are as effective as a younger applicant, the more the employer will believe it.

Consistency is key



Let others sing your praises

Turn on the radio or walk into any shopping mall and you'll hear countless musicians singing all about Santa. We don't hear too much from Santa, but we know plenty, thanks to the jingles, carols, and tunes that come out this time of year.
