Holiday Jobs: The Seasonal Hiring Spree Has Already Begun

If you're hoping to make some extra cash this year by working a part-time job over the holidays you better get busy. The majority of businesses that plan to hire seasonal staff are beginning interviews this month to allow time to get new staff trained and in place before things really get busy -- so if you wait until November you could miss out. The good news is that many retailers are planning to hire more seasonal help this year than they did last year, but of course there will still only be a limited number of positions available so being an early bird is key.

Here are a few tips for securing yourself a spot in this year's mini holiday hiring spree.


  • Apply early and often to improve your odds of getting hired before everything fills up.

  • Be clear on your availability and be as flexible as possible. You'll have access to the most hours and best pay if you're willing to work weekends, evenings, and holidays.

  • If you're looking for full-time seasonal work be prepared to combine two, or even three, part-time positions.

  • Take advantage of unadvertised opportunities by getting out and looking for 'Help Wanted' signs and by asking local businesses if they're hiring (or plan to hire) for the holidays.

  • Apply in person whenever possible to put a face with your resume.

  • Don't slack off because the job is only temporary -- many companies hire short term holiday workers with the intention of keeping the best ones permanently. Present yourself well at the interview and then perform reliably once hired and you just might get lucky and continue getting hours, and possibly a promotion, after the seasonal rush is over.
Who's Hiring

Although retail stores are the most obvious businesses to hire extra help during the holidays don't limit your search only to places where people shop. Companies that offer supportive services like customer service, shipping, and security are also great options as they too see a jump in activity during this time. To get you started we've compiled a list of some national businesses that have expressed plans to expand their fleets for the 2010 holiday season but don't forget to seek out opportunities in your local area as many small businesses are also planning to hire, just on a smaller scale.

  1. Macy's - plans to hire 65,000
  2. Toys R Us - plans to hire 45,000

  4. Pier 1 - plans to hire more than last year
  5. Walmart - plans to hire same as last year
  6. Target - plans to hire same as last year

10 Ways to Find Work Today

Finding a job can be demoralizing and frustrating. Not only are you competing with 14.6 million unemployed people across the country for jobs, there are bills to pay and you need to find some way to bring some money in.

After a while of filling out countless job applications and being unable to find the career of your dreams, it's time to get realistic and find some part-time work or temporary gigs until the economy fully rebounds. Here are 10 options that the Financial Highway recommended for finding work today so you can get some of those bills out of your in basket:

1. Craigslist

The website has tons of temporary jobs, from painting houses to handing out fliers on the street corner. Melissa, who didn't want her last name used, told AOL Jobs in an e-mail that she has found a few quick freelance jobs on Craigslist, but the drawback is that each job gets hundreds of responses, so applicants have to be fast when the job is posted because the people hiring will only go through the first 25 or so applications. She offered these steps to improving the odds of getting a part-time job from Craigslist:

  1. Monitor your category often.
  2. Have a professional e-mail response and resumes ready to go.
  3. Respond ASAP.
  4. Mention specifics (brand name companies on your resume, rare/coveted job skills) in the subject line.
  5. Have a "hook," such as "+new biz pro" that could make you stand out from the crowd.

There's also NotifyWire, which alerts you via e-mail or text message when the job you want has been posted. To be sure you're not scammed by a fake job listing on Craigslist, be aware of 20 ways to identify them.

2. Contact old employers

If you left on good terms, this is a way to pay the bills. It's a good idea if the job is still a good fit, or if they have something better to offer. I tried this when I was laid off two years ago. It almost led to a job, but most of the pay would have gone to commuting.

3. Temp agencies

These businesses take a good chunk of your paycheck for the honor of finding you a job, but it could lead to a full-time job with benefits.

4. Day labor jobs

If you're willing to do manual labor, you should be able to find work most days of the week at your local day labor office. You'll have to sit around at the office waiting for work to come in. It's a job that more U.S.-born out-of-work citizens are doing.

5. Apply for jobs you're overqualified for but truly want to do

Walking dogs, for example, is fun if you like dogs and exercising. You'll get paid for doing something you enjoy doing, which is what work should be about.

6. Social networking

Tell everyone on your social networks that you're looking for work, even short-term or one-time jobs while still looking for full-time work. And learn how to expand your social network. Anyone with a young child needs a babysitter, or use your job skills in new ways, such as helping with web content or building something.

7. Seasonal jobs

Retail stores always need help during the holidays, so apply early for these jobs that have great side benefits during the month or so of employment.

8. Head overseas

If you're willing to move to another country, go teach English there, or volunteer abroad in exchange for room and board. Take a few months to a year to explore the international job market.

9. Speak to a job counselor

You'll have to go through some red tape, but many government agencies have job counselors to help people find jobs. At the very least, it will increase your network of people to help you find a job.

10. Sell yourself

Sell your hair, your eggs, your sperm and blood and plasma for some income. You can also participate in medical and psychological studies. This isn't a true job or a long-term solution but it can put dinner on the table as you're looking for something else.

The 15 Most Wanted Workers in Future.

This winter there seems to have been an explosion of positive employment news that’s left skeptics wondering, “Is this news too good to be true?” and job seekers crying foul.

While we are not out of the woods yet, President Barack Obama was cautiously optimistic in a recent radio address. “Even as we have come a long way, we still have a ways to go,” Obama said. “No matter what the economic statistics say, I won’t be satisfied until folks who need work can find good jobs. After a recession that stole 8 million jobs, this is going take some time.”

“By 2018, with no change in current labor force participation rates or immigration rates and an expected return to healthy economic growth, we will have more jobs than people to fill them,” wrote Barry Bluestone, dean of the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs at Northeastern University, and Mark Melnik, deputy director for research at the Boston Redevelopment Authority, in their report “After the Recovery: Help Needed.”

The report, which was sponsored by MetLife Foundation and Civic Ventures, a think tank on baby boomers, work and social purpose, predicts that within the next eight years there could be at least 5 million job vacancies in the United States, nearly half of them (2.4 million) in social sector jobs in education, health care, government and nonprofit organizations.
