seasonal Work

 

There are loads of organisations that take on extra staff during busy periods, such as Christmas and the summer holidays, so a temporary job might be just the thing for you.

 

It’s a great way to earn some extra money, meet new friends, learn new skills and can often lead to more or permanent work in the future.

 

Seasonal jobs often can involve the chance to travel at home and abroad too, so can be an exciting opportunity that’s about more than just work.

 

 Top tips

  • Start by planning ahead and deciding what you’d like to do early.
  • Then, start to approach employers and organisations as soon as possible.
  • If you already have a part-time job, ask your employer if you can do extra work over the holiday period or if they need help in another part of the organisation.
  • Lots of companies and voluntary organisations offer the chance to combine learning new skills with travel, so if this interests you, ask your Connexions Personal Adviser to give you details.
  • Remember to make a note of new skills and experiences you gain for use on your CV.
  • Use your experiences to build up contacts and ask employers if they’ll act as a referee for future job applications.
