OK, some people have already taken off for vacation, but I’m here–nearly alone–in a cavernous office space, I’m wondering what other people are doing for holiday and marketing.

Does your social media marketing get time off, too? Do you automate your posts? Or do you take photos of your holiday dinner and post it to your business page?

I typically just update two holiday-themed career-help blog posts and run them each year — one is about learning about job disappointments from George Bailey’s disappointments in It’s a Wonderful Life – http://www.getajobtips.com/2012/12/4-things-george-bailey-can-teach-you.html — and one is about determining if you are really trying in your job search (with a key determinate being that you bailed on your job search way before Christmas) – http://www.getajobtips.com/2009/12/do-you-really-want-job-these-three.html. Since I figure that each year, new people are looking for work, I figure that the articles can be perennial and I don’t have to work as hard during the holidays.

@rich-brooks We didn’t tweet on Christmas Day and we only have a limited number of tweets this week. Many of our industry fellows have disconnected / not publishing. I am not tweeting much this week (though looking at my personal Twitter news feed because of all the cool weather systems). Facebook has some scheduled posts as well. Spending my time with family, cleaning up the house and watching movies. Life is good

We start winding up the buzz machine for our annual conference at the end of April. I need to rest when I can!
