The holiday season can bring uncertainty for job seekers. Should you take a break from applying? Use the time to prepare for the new year? Or keep applying to as many positions as possible?
Join The Lighthouse for the Blind, Inc. for the next installment of our Pathways to Disability Empowerment monthly career webinar series, Creating a Holiday Job Search Game Plan, on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. PT.
This free online webinar is designed for job seekers who are blind, DeafBlind, have low vision, or are blind with other disabilities.
Make the Holiday Season Work for Your Job Search
Hiring activity can feel different during the holiday season, but a slower period does not have to mean putting your job search on hold.
During this webinar, two experienced workforce development professionals will share practical strategies to help you make the most of this time. Participants will learn how to evaluate their current job search, prepare for opportunities in the new year, and identify productive actions they can take during the holidays.
Topics will include:
- Deciding when to continue applying and when to focus on preparation
- Reviewing and strengthening your overall job search strategy
- Using a slower hiring season to prepare for upcoming opportunities
- Identifying productive actions you can take now to start the new year with momentum
- Developing a realistic holiday job search game plan
Whether you are actively applying for jobs or preparing to begin your search in the new year, this webinar will provide practical ideas you can put into action.
