If you're looking for work or have job searched at all this year, take a few minutes to thank the people who helped with your job search. And if someone has introduced to a connection who has helped give your career a boost, send a holiday thank you card to them, too.  It's a terrific way to  thank the people who have helped you if you've found a job or to remind your connections that you're still job searching if you haven't found a new position yet.

Or, if you simply want to stay in touch with contacts, which always makes good sense, take a few minutes and send them holiday cards, too.  Sending a holiday thank you card is a good way to stay in touch with your connections, and to let them know that you appreciate the help they have provided during the past year. 

Old fashioned paper cards or thank you notes work best, because they are a bit more tangible than email, but if the time it takes or the expense are issues, email thank you messages work, as well.   Not sure what to write? Here are sample thank you letters to get you started.
