Are the holidays the right time to start your job search?

New year, new programming job? Taking advantage of the lull of the holidays to put extra effort into your job searching and technical interview prep can be a great way to realize that goal, Triplebyte’s talent community lead Laura Handeland explains in a new post.
Why? Well, as Laura puts it, beyond providing extra time for typical things like reviewing coding fundamentals and practicing coding under the gun, the peace and tranquility of December can also facilitate the space to learn completely new (and market-demanded) tools and technical skills. (Taking the Triplebyte programming quiz to check in on how your skills are coming along is always a good call, too.) And don’t underestimate the importance of also taking time for things like deciding on the right professional references and developing your complete pitch as a candidate – whether you’re a soon-grad or someone mid-career looking for a change.
