Should I slow my job hunt during Holiday weeks?

NO!

This is one of the most common job search myths out there. The notion is that hiring is down during Holiday weeks, which is true. This is such a widely touted notion that you should use it to your advantage.

Since most people will wait until after Holiday weeks to submit their resume, the competition is nearly zero.

While everyone else is waiting around for the Memorial, 4^th of July, or Labor Day weekend to be over, you should submit your resume the evening of or the morning after the actual holiday. You will be on the top of their email list in the morning. When the hiring authority comes in that morning, your resume will be there. Do this even if the Holiday is between October 1^st and December 31^st.

Since they are not bombarded with resumes, go for it, even step it up a little!
