So what do you do during the holiday slow down?

Jim Durbiin gives some good specific points on his blog at Holiday Tips for Recruiters and Candidates about things you should be doing during the slow times of the holidays.

I believe, the key her is to maximize your homework on your clients/candidates.  Do the things that separate yourself out from the competition.  Do the "personal" things like making that extra visit or phone call when there isn't really a business reason to do it. Use this time to update your data base or CRM with the information you've been putting off. 

This is a great time to start setting your goals for 2008.  Be realistic and put time and thought into the details.  XX amount of client office visits, XX amount of proposals etc.

Remember, most of your competition will be shutting down their thinking caps.  Don't you.
