So you want to make a little bit extra money this year for Christmas. One of your best options is to get a seasonal job, also known as a holiday job. Around Christmas, a lot of retailers hire part-time seasonal help to combat the hectic holiday shopping season. Where to find holiday jobs or seasonal jobs? The good news is that you have lots of options.

Online Job Sites

Yes a good chunk of retailers take the easy approach and put “now hiring” signs in store windows, but many more use the internet to their advantage. These retailers are after more than just a teen who may stop by while at the mall with their friends. They are after individuals who want holiday jobs so badly they do the research themselves online. Many retailers use the best career sites, like Monster.com or CareerBuilder.com, to advertise and hire seasonal workers for their holiday jobs.

Job Finders

Right now, you are probably wondering “what are job finders?” They are software programs that pull information from all the best job search websites. Essentially, you are able to search hundreds or thousands of sites for holiday jobs with one single search! You don’t have to visit CareerBuilder, Monster, HotJobs, and so forth. One search on these job finding programs and you are all set! Most even let you apply for jobs (including holiday jobs) right through their program and store an unlimited number of resumes and cover letters!

Your Local Mall

Since most holiday jobs and seasonal jobs are retail positions, the best place to find holiday jobs is at your local mall. Walk around and see which stores have “now hiring” signs in their windows. Stop by and fill and out an application. However, don’t be that applicant who takes up much needed counter space to fill out an application. Get a collection of applications, go to the food court to fill them out, and then return them to the stores before heading home.

So there you have it: you now know where to find holiday jobs, otherwise known as seasonal jobs. So what are you waiting for? Many retailers like to start interviewing and hiring seasonal help early.
