I just re-enrolled in college. I calculated it out and will end up being a December graduate. There is no way I can take more classes to finish sooner in the year. Is December a bad time to graduate and be looking for employment? Should I stretch out my schooling so I graduate in March?

I do not think it is ever a bad time to look for a job. As long as you look for one.

You know, I think it might actually work to your advantage. Companies look at their budgets either at the end of the quarter or end of the year, so they may be considering adding more employees during the next financial period. You'll be in the door long before your spring graduating friends will be out of school.
Get done with school and start looking for a job, even prior to graduation. Most employers don't care if you're not completely done, as long as graduation is coming up soon.

I understand your sentiments. I graduated from college in December. Yes, it is kind of tough during winter months..especially late December, January, and early February. Companies seem more intent on laying people off at end of year reviews than hiring people. However, there are still some opportunities...companies still interview during these times. I talked a career counselor briefly about this..and he said that companies will interview but will tend not to start people then. I think this is true of most recent graduates..they might want you to start later. If you are experienced, the job opportunities might be less, but you should do more research and target specific companies. Another option, is to go on vacation during the winter to celebrate your graduataion and start looking in late January and early February. Best of luck.

No, it is not unavoidably a bad time to be searching for artwork, in spite of the undeniable fact that it additionally relies upon on what component of the rustic you're in and how the community economic gadget is doing there. In Seattle, there are jobs in case you have the talents needed. it is likewise time that while you're quite in desire of jobs, lots of holiday hiring is occurring now (in case you like purely a job to pay the expenses till you get THE job you have an activity in). What skills/practise/journey do you have?

As long as you are qualified, there is no bad time to look for employment. You may want to go to an employment placement agency or "headhunter" to help in your search...These are different than a temp agency because they look to place you permanently at an establishment that has a long term job available

Whew! To graduate earlier, the better! Don't be too much affected on that ok? The fact is there are several companies that are continiously hiring. Just be positive! You'll find the right place for you in time.
