Fall is the Peak Hiring Season in the US

In the US, recruiting and hiring is year round. However, the busiest hiring season is the autumn(Labor Day through Thanksgiving). It is very important that you update your career profile, resume and cover letters now

In September, decision makers are back from summer vacation. Hiring managers push for an increase to take advantage of remaining budget for the year. If they don't hire before January, they might lose the allocated funds for new employees. 

The slowest season for hiring and job hunting are the holiday season(Thanksgiving through New Year's) and summertime (Memorial Day through mid-August). So the employers also want to get new recruits in before December. 

The U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 6.2% in August 2014(about 3.0% for computer professionals, 2.6% for engineers and 2.6% for business and management occupations). Please take following steps to make yourself stand out in the job market!



  1. Conduct a self-assessment to determine skills and talents, then update your career profile.

  2. Use real time H1B database to conduct market research, and identify employers in need of your skills and talents.

  3. Craft an industry-specific resume and cover letter, and upload them to job candidate database.

  4. Utilize Resume Blasting Service and Smart Apply Service to pitch large number of employers.

  5. Negotiate and evaluate job offers by researching how similar H1B jobs are paid.
