Tis the Season
Posted by | Posted in Credit Report | Posted on 14-10-2010
With Halloween, Thanksgiving and, oh boy, Christmas right around the corner, retailers are seeking seasonal employees to handle the much-anticipated onslaught of shoppers. For those who are unemployed, as well as those looking to add to their holiday shopping coffers, part-time or seasonal work may be just the ticket to a happier and less stressful holiday season.In a Chicago Tribune article by Kristi Elliott, workplace experts Larry Johnson and his daughter, Meagan, say that all job-hunters can bring age- and interest-related expertise to the employment table. Young people with no retail experience may have considerable expertise in the computer and music field and in stores frequented by people of similar age and interests. Correspondingly, older job seekers should check out employment opportunities at establishments that they, themselves, like to frequent, including big-box stores. Senior consultant for SHL Group, Kasey Harboe, adds that seasonal employment opportunities extend past retail; job seekers should also check out openings at winter resorts, delivery companies and, if you have the credentials, tax preparation agencies.Christine Durst of RatRaceRebellion.com, counsels that once you have secured a temp position, you may be able to turn the opportunity into full-time employment. She and Harboe advise approaching high-stress situations with tact, flexibility and a positive and cheerful, “can-do”, attitude.If you have piles of unpaid bills due to unemployment or underemployment, filing Chapter 7 or 13 personal bankruptcy could be your answer.
