Top Three Benefits of Holiday Jobsby Sherry Holetzky | More from this Blogger 17 Nov 2006 06:42 AM While you're not likely to receive many standard employee benefits as a seasonal hire, there are benefits to obtaining a holiday job that many people don't realize. Great Potential If you are hired as a temporary holiday employee, you might just find that you like the company. Many employers offer excellent opportunities for advancement once you are considered a permanent hire. Holiday jobs can create great opportunities for people who have been laid off or otherwise lost a job, for stay home parents re-entering the workforce, or for young people who are just starting out, to eventually land a great job. Even if a holiday job doesn't result in something permanent, it's a great way to fill in those empty spaces on your resume. Flexibility If you're already working, are still in school, or have children, a holiday job may offer the perfect schedule for you. These are generally part time jobs and the hours are often flexible. For example, a mom might work after once her husband is home for the evening, so they don't have to worry about daycare. With many holiday jobs, you can work as much or as little as you like. Discounted Goods and Services Many companies that hire extra help during the holidays, offer discounts on their products and services even for temporary employees. Besides making extra money, you'll save money on purchases. In some cases employee discounts can be generous, and some people find that the discounts alone make the difference between so-so gift giving and being able to buy really great gifts for their families.

Tip: Remember, many other people will be looking for temporary work during the holidays as well, so it makes sense to start checking into different companies in your area early. Start filling out applications as soon as they'll accept them, so you have a better chance of getting hired.
