Tips for finding a Seasonal Job

A large percentage of college students won’t have monies during the Holiday Season. Mostly because the cost of living and attending school will outweigh their income. So, I thought it might be helpful to offer some possible ways to earn cash during this time of year.
Retail stores like J.C. Penny’s and K Mart hire extra staff to keep up with the needs of their customer base during the holidays. Some tips on actually acquiring the job would be 1) be persistent with your application. Apply on-line and in person. Make sure to conduct follow up calls on your applications. Use this line (if you think it’ll help)
“Hello, my name is ………… I applied for the position of ………….. last week. I was just calling to check on the statues of my application”. This will let the manager know that you are serious about landing the job.
Other things that’ll help you land the job are (2) remembering to dress the part and (3) talk to the hiring manager as if you have known them all your life. But please be cordial with your choice of words. We want to get the job, not get thrown out of the establishment.
Keep in mind that once you get the job, you have to take on the job requirements. Report to work on time, and go the extra mile if you have to. Doing so may lead to a permanent position with the company. And if not that, then it’ll make things easier for you come next year.
By the way, other possible job openings for the holiday are U.P.S. stores, Brown’s Package Delivery, Radio Shack, Belk’s and Wal-Mart. Good luck.
