Well, it seems like it anyway. May has been a strange month. Lots of jobs coming in, but applications have been lighter than usual.
A month that contains two Bank Holiday weekends and a half term is definitely a distraction. People tend to be planning holidays, looking after children, enjoying the lighter nights and not necessarily looking to apply for jobs.
Paying for your next holiday is always a good reason to stay put. However, the advantage to applying for a job when everyone else is distracted is that you may get noticed more – less competition.
So, if you see a job you’re interested in but the sun’s out and chillin’ with Pimms seems a better option, think again – now may be your moment to shine. Take the laptop or the application form into the garden with you and beat the crowds.
