3 facts about finding a job this summer

In the summer, there is a peak in employer activity. While the vast majority of Russians do not even think about looking for work, companies are in full swing of publishing fresh vacancies. We already wrote how the volume of the employment market has increased with the advent of heat.

The job offer market as a whole depends on the fiscal year cycle and the features of business development planning.

The seasonal factor also affects. Already in May, the number of vacancies "for the summer" begins to grow steadily.

For example, now there are 240 thousand options for summer employment.
