Seasonal, Temp and Part-Time Holiday Jobs

Check out the wonderful resources provided by Alison Doyle, About.com Guide

Many stores have help wanted signs in their window and your best bet, if you're interested in a retail seasonal job, is to walk around the mall or your town, and stop in and fill out an application. Macy's, Target and Walmart accept online applications. You can apply online or over the phone for some JC Penney positions. Also, check out the local job searching resources for your city or state. Many of the employers who hire extra help for the holidays are the same employers who hire part-time help. So, be sure to check the part-time job sites.

To expedite your job search, use the job search engines to find seasonal jobs. You can either use the Advanced Search option, selecting Temporary Jobs, or search by keyword for "seasonal" or "temp" jobs.

Get Job Search Help at the Library by Alison Doyle, About.com Guide

In addition to providing job search and career related books, public libraries offer many other resources for job seekers.   Libraries are a good resource for unemployed workers and job changers, especially for those who can use personal assistance.

Job seekers can attend job search classes, learn how to use a computer, learn how to use a variety of software programs, use library computers to check email (get a free Gmail, Yahoo, or other account), and apply for jobs (save a copy of your resume and cover letters online using Google Docs).  

Some libraries even offer classes - like yoga and meditation - that will help with the stress involved in job searching in a tough economy. 

Here's more on how you can find out about job search help at the library including finding information on library resources, programs, classes, tools, and events that can help you with your job search.

Tips for a Good Job Interview by John Tesh

Here are some tips to help you stand out from the crowd, they come from Brody Communications, an executive coaching and training firm:

·         First, shake hands like a pro. Lots of women wait for the other person to extend his or her hand, but reaching out first, puts you in control and makes a friendly impression.

·         Grooming counts. Your shoes, hair and nails are the things people notice first. It may not seem like a big deal to have a chipped nail or worn-out shoes, but those things suggest that you're sloppy and not detail-oriented.

·         Establish eye contact. Eye contact shows you're comfortable, interested and engaged.

·         Show you're prepared. Do a little research on the internet. Mentioning some key things about the company lets them know you are informed and up on things.

Jobs Fair Coming Soon!

The Panhandle Job Fair will be held April 19th and September 20th. Doors are open to the public from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (CST).   More information to come as the event nears.
