Upcoming Seasonal Jobs Provide Opportunities For Career Positions

Nov. 10, 2010 - PRLog -- EATONTOWN, NJ – Move over Cabbage Patch Dolls, Tickle-Me-Elmo and Nintendo Wii, Santa is bringing a new “hot gift” this year that everyone wants: a job. In November and December, it’s a common practice for businesses to hire temporary employees to help with holiday demands. While some job seekers may be reluctant to sign up for short-term employment contracts, Snelling Staffing – The Wyckoff Group (TWG) is reporting that seasonal jobs can provide great opportunities for career positions.

“In addition to earning some extra cash for the holidays, end of the year temporary jobs are excellent stepping-stones for career positions,” says Frank Wyckoff, President of Snelling Staffing – TWG. “As the economic recovery extends into 2011, employers look first to their loyal, hard-working seasonal employees when considering full-time staff.”

To help seasonal employees make the transition into permanent careers, Wyckoff offers three tips for 2011 hopefuls:

1)   Demonstrate your value – Companies need people who are going to make a positive impact on their business. Quantify all of your accomplishments and show your employer that he or she can’t afford to continue into next year without you.

2)   Convey a positive attitude – A great attitude goes a long way. Although you’re hired for a set period of time, show your employer that you still care about the company’s future. Additionally, treat all customers and co-workers with the utmost respect.

3)   Show your versatility – Employers look for employees who are multifunctional. Even if you’re hired to perform a specific task, demonstrate that you have the ability to serve numerous departments and can help out in other ways.

“Seasonal positions are a great way to get your foot in the door with a new company,” adds Wyckoff. “Use this once-a-year opportunity to network with new contacts and increase your chances of employment for 2011.”
