So you’ve landed a temporary seasonal job. But you’d like to stick around even after the holidays are over. While full-time positions may be few and far between when the holiday rush is over, you already have your foot in the door as a seasonal worker, so you’re one step ahead of the pack. What else can you do to secure your place and turn your seasonal gig into a full-time position? Start with these tips.

So what’s an end-of-the-year job-seeker to do?
Here are seven tips to make your December job-search time profitable and to pump up your emotional-energy fuel tank this month. Take a look!
