Seasonal Jobs

November 18, 2013 | Elle | Comments (0)

The Christmas/Holiday Season is here! Retailers have been quick to remind us that this season is upon us by trotting out all the decorations and possible gift ideas. Behind this is the prospect of seasonal jobs and the very real possibility of longterm employment. I find that many people have found gainful employment by being at the right place, at the right time. If you maintain a positive team attitude and remain open to all opportunities, I believe that you will be rewarded. Think "Undercover Boss Canada!"

Many retailers post seasonal vacancies on their company website or external jobsites such as Indeed, WowJobs, TorontoJobs, and Ontario.Jobs-Open:

Hudson's Bay

Blue Banana Market in Kensington Market

Black's

Gap

Food & Hospitality positions: APRONS Staffing Solutions 

Indigo Books

Old Navy

Target

Club Monaco

Best Buy

 

Some books to get you started:

An additional title is The Hidden Job Market: An Insider's Guide to Finding Rewarding Contract or Temporary Work. Although published awhile ago, it contains some advice gems that may prove useful.

TorontoJobs.ca has a great article on strategies for finding seasonal employment.
