Video Post: Businesses are Hiring Seasonal Employees



Quick thought:
This video comes from a Louisville, KY news station. The reporter discusses how seasonal positions are open just in time for the start of the holidays. Jobs are not limited to clothing and toy stores. Delivery companies are anticipating a large increase in their workforce to accommodate people shipping gifts all over the country. Shops that sell local goods, such as sports fan stores and specialty boutiques, will also need more help servicing the holiday consumers. The reporter is careful to mention that many different types of people rely on seasonal employment, including those who have been unemployed for a very long time. In this example for Louisville, KY, the recommended deadline for job applications is Dec. 1.

For those of you looking for a seasonal job, try to apply as soon as possible. Also, be sure not to be too limited with your job hunt. Your hometown may have more opportunities than you think. Ask around!

Is seasonal hiring important to the people living in your town? Why or why not?
