During the build up to the festive season many companies take on extra staff so if you are looking for a casual job now is the time to act.

The sectors that usually need staff to boost their employees are the hospitality and retail sectors with some companies nearly doubling their workforce. If you have experience working in these areas then getting a job should be easy but even if you do not have experience as long as you are willing to learn quickly you should get a post without any problems.

Many businesses advertise their casual positions either by putting posters in their windows or through their social media platforms where you can message the business directly to enquire about the positions. If you are asked to attend an interview it is important to arrive on time and be smartly dressed as this will be your opportunity to make a good first impression. Show the potential employer that you are willing to be part of their team and that you are available to work right up to the Christmas shut down. Some companies may want to keep you on after the festive season if you make a good impression and they need extra staff.
