One of the BEST times to network? December.
People are relaxed, inboxes are lighter, and more professionals answer messages.

Try sending one message:
‘Hi __, I’m exploring careers in ____. If you have time in January, I’d love a 10–15 min conversation to learn from your experience.’

Career Myth: Hiring stops during the holidays.
🎁 Truth: Many managers use quiet weeks to review résumés, schedule January interviews, and finalize postings.
If you're applying this month, you’re competing with fewer applicants and may get seen faster.
