A holiday job used to be a way to earn some extra money to cover presents and pay a few bills. Now, according to a survey from job search engine SimplyHired.com, the majority of holiday job seekers are those who just need a job - any job.
SimplyHired reports that 66% of job seekers are looking for a seasonal job because they are out of work this holiday season. 24% of job seekers simply need the additional income and 8% need money for school expenses.
If you're looking to earn some extra money during the holiday season, it's quick and easy to apply for the holiday jobs that are available - and there's not all that many, so apply everywhere you can. I picked up a few holiday job applications at the mall the other day and they are so simple that they only take few minutes to complete.
Before you go, make a list of the information you need to apply, so you're ready to complete an on-the-spot job application. Dress appropriately, be ready for an interview, and you may get a holiday job sooner than you expected!
