Best time to find a job

Best time for job hunting

October is the best time to look for a job, based on a LinkedIn survey.

​The CBS This Morning show invited Dan Roth, the Editor in Chief of LinkedIn, where it was explained that with the national unemployment rate at a 50-year low, October could be the perfect time to land your dream job — and Monday the best day to apply for a job, based on a recent LinkedIn survey.

October has the HIGHEST number of job openings on LinkedIn

​

​October has the highest number of job openings on LinkedIn, and 89% of hiring managers filled those spots in less than four weeks.

Monday morning is the best time to look for work

Roth said it's good to have your application be first in line because the first 25 applications are three times more likely to land a position (compared to those later in the queue).

"Make sure that you are out there with your profile"

​But being first is not the most important thing, according to Roth. He emphasized building out your online professional profile. “The real key is making sure that you are out there with your profile, that you’re sharing, that you’re talking about what you're an expert in, that you’ve got your skills listed, that you’re networking with people,” says Roth.

“If you are just relying on a piece of paper, you're doing it wrong,” says Roth. “The most important thing is to be out there.”
 
LinkedIn also published a blog post talking about the autumn job search process titled “A New Holiday to Celebrate: Fall Hiring Season.”
