If you have not had luck finding a job this year, now may be the perfect time to do so.  With the holiday season upon us, some companies will look to add workers due to increased demand.  According to one article, retail employers increase staff by at least 4% during the holiday season.  Here are some seasonal employment options to consider:

Seasonal retail jobs– Visit different retail stores, and ask about job opportunities.  In addition, do keyword searches online for “seasonal” or “temp” jobs.

Temp seasonal jobs– Companies can turn to temporary agencies to find more workers; these agencies may be able to help you land a temp job.

Delivery jobs– With so many packages being shipped during the holidays, it is no surprise that more delivery jobs are available.

Outdoor seasonal jobs– If you enjoy the cold weather, then you could probably find work in a ski area or resort.  You might also check out hospitality, travel, and outdoor job listings.

If you haven’t already done so, go ahead and start your seasonal job search.  An increase in demand calls for more helping hands, and finding a job will bring you more cheer this holiday season.
