Hiring the Holidays Marketplace

Need to earn some extra cash for those holiday gifts?  Well, the Office of Career Connections is providing a great opportunity for you to find that perfect part-time seasonal job right here on campus.  We will be hosting a "Hiring for the Holidays" Marketplace, Tuesday, October 6 from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm at the top of the Student Union Building.  Local stores will come on campus to recruit you and accept your application for their job positions.

Stores begin getting prepared for the holiday season in early October. Why so early you ask? Well, here's why. The preparation not only includes decorating the store for the festive season but it also includes hiring part-time seasonal help.  Store managers must find dependable help to work the sales floor assisting customers, work the cash register, or wrapping presents .  Some businesses need help with package deliveries or serve as a host/hostess. They hire seasonal part-time employees early so they can be trained and ready to start before that first big day of holiday shopping that everyone calls "Black Friday". 

So, if you are looking for some part-time work for the holidays, don't delay in applying!  Come to the Hiring for the Holidays, October 6.  See you there!
