Let's see, you're a HR person whose reponsible for finding a position in your West Coast office and you work in the East Coast office. Naturally, it would make sense to call that person on December 23rd at 4:30 East Coast time and leave a message about a phone interview. Because most people are home on December 23rd. It would also make a lot of sense to call people about a job the day before you take the rest of the week off for Christmas. But wait, here's an even smarter way to go about conducting a job search. How about not only calling people to set up a job interview right before Christmas then taking the rest of the week off, but also when your baby is due any second now and the moment the baby comes out, you're on Maternity Leave for a couple of months.
