An article on Page 13A in The Dallas Morning News in the November 15, 2010, edition “Start Hunt for Seasonal Jobs” from The Kansas City Star and The Associated Press reminds job seekers that retail stores are staffing-up for the holiday season. According to Challenger, Gray, and Christmas, retailers will add 500,000 to 650,000 jobs this season. Last year 500,000 jobs were added. The average pay for these jobs is $10.60 per hour.
Here is the message for individual seeking work this holiday season:
1. Apply in person if you can, presenting a friendly, positive, can-do attitude.
2. Have previous experience in the industry.
3. Be flexible about the shifts you’re willing to work.
4. Commit to the entire holiday season, including the post-Christmas rush.
5. Show a passion for, knowledge of or loyalty to the company and its products.
Hey, I think these suggestions make sense for all job seekers! Please share your success in finding jobs this holiday season with readers of this blog.
Thanks! Glyn
