Don't Wait Until January! Your Next Job Opportunity Could Be Waiting for You Now.

WorkOne of Northern Indiana | November 2026

As the calendar winds down and the holiday season approaches, many people assume that hiring slows to a stop until January. But here's something jobseekers should know: The year isn't over, and neither are the opportunities!

November and December are great times to connect with employers, explore new career opportunities, and get a head start on the new year. In fact, Indeed's 2026 hiring data show seasonal job postings were about 10% higher than the previous year as of September 30. Employers are also advertising more regular part-time opportunities, some of which may continue beyond the holiday season.

Make the Most of the Final Hiring Opportunities of 2026

WorkOne encourages jobseekers not to put their job search on hold just because the holidays are approaching. Whether you are unemployed, looking for a career change, hoping to earn extra holiday income, or simply ready for something new, now is the time to take action.

Here are a few ways to make the most of the final weeks of the year:

• Explore seasonal opportunities. Holiday hiring can open doors in retail, shipping, warehousing, hospitality, and customer service.

• Consider temporary or part-time work. These positions can provide income, valuable experience, and sometimes a pathway to permanent employment.

• Update your resume. Make sure your experience, skills, and contact information are current.

• Don't overlook employers still hiring. Many businesses have positions to fill before the end of the year.

• Get ready for January. Even if your next opportunity doesn't happen before the holidays, preparing now puts you ahead of the crowd.
