Summertime is No Time for Career Complacency
Jobfox Career Expert Provides Tips for Keeping Your Career from Taking a Vacation
McLean, Va. (July 3, 2007) - It’s the heart of summer, a time when busy professionals are juggling never-ending work demands and their plans for a little vacation time. However, the summer months can be a strategically ideal time to take advantage of new career opportunities, said Rob McGovern, a career expert and the CEO of Jobfox (www.jobfox.com).
“A lot of working professionals let their career guards down over the summer,” said McGovern, who is also the author of Bring Your ‘A’ Game: The Top 10 Secrets of the High Achiever. “Timing is everything and the summer can be the perfect time to strike.”
Professionals can stay career-connected over the summer by:
- Using vacation time to network with new people.
- Thinking of new assignments that will help advance their skills and their organizations.
- Refreshing resumes with new skills, contributions and achievements.
- Staying connected – as much as possible – to new career opportunities.
With Jobfox, professionals can remain connected 24/7 to new career opportunities via mobile text messaging. Jobfox professionals who opt for this service receive a text message whenever their profiles and resumes are viewed favorably by an employer.

“Today’s professionals must be on their toes – at all times – to optimize career choices,” McGovern said. “Perfect opportunities don’t take the summer off.”
