Christmas Job Opportunities
NEWS RELEASE
17th November 2004
Recruitment experts Kelly Services advise job hunters to take advantage of the Festive Season.
If you’re keen to boost your earnings in the run up to Christmas, you’ll be pleased to know that there is plenty of seasonal work around.
“It’s not only Santa who’s busy in the run up to Christmas” says Clare Francis, communications manager for recruitment experts Kelly Services. “Hundreds of businesses, from retailers through to call centres, are overwhelmed at this time of year and desperately looking for staff to help with the Christmas rush. With employers so keen to recruit in the run up to Christmas, they frequently offer very flexible hours to fit round your lifestyle. This means that there are openings for those who wouldn’t normally be able to work around their other commitments.
These seasonal jobs offer people the chance to earn valuable extra cash in the run up to Christmas. I would encourage anyone looking for work to pop into their local branch and have a chat with us about these opportunities.”
While many of these jobs will be primarily seasonal, they still offer job hunters the chance to gain valuable experience and temporary staff who impress may be asked to stay on after the rush is over!”
The run up to Christmas can be a very stressful time as workloads increase and businesses want to complete their plans for the New Year. That’s why Kelly have put together their ‘Don’t go crackers at Christmas’ fact sheet, which is packed with tips to avoid Christmas stress and even includes some suggestions on surviving the office party with your dignity intact! It’s a great companion for those who want to avoid the bits of the festive season they might live to regret.
If you would like a fact sheet, call into your local Kelly branch and, while you are there, check out the latest local permanent and temporary job opportunities.
