Your Summer Job Search Strategy

Think hiring stops in the summer? Think again. In this Just Ask Julia session, Julia Holian — former Bay Area finance recruiter and co-founder of Career Transformation Partners — reveals why summer is one of the most strategic windows in your job search. While job postings dip 15–20%, applications drop 30–40% — meaning less competition for open roles. With 10–15% of annual hires closing between June and August, now is the time to stand out and build momentum for the September Surge. What you'll learn: The truth about summer hiring (from the recruiter side) Why hiring managers are MORE responsive in summer — and how to reach them The 6 mindset shifts every job seeker needs to make The 5 job search channels you must keep active A realistic 10–15 hr/week cadence that prevents burnout How to build a target list of 20–25 companies hiring people like you The summer action plan that sets you up for the September Surge Whether you're actively searching, passively exploring, or returning after a break — this session will reframe your entire summer strategy.
