When it comes to the Christmas season, for those people who make a choice within the temp market, it can be a successful way to end the year.
TeamJobs Senior Commercial Consultant Helen Purbrick says, “Christmas is an active time for the industrial and hospitality areas.”
“If you’re a temp worker and you’re looking for a way to earn more money, it’s important to keep your flexibility open despite the holiday. If you want extra hours and overtime pay, Christmas is your best bet.” says Frankie Smart, Commercial Consultant.
Being prepared for Christmas roles is important. As we approach December, if you hand your CV out two weeks before 25th December, you’re leaving it a little too late. The earlier you prepare and put yourself out there,” elaborates Frankie, “the better chance recruiters have of finding you a festive temp position.”
Christmas can be a time of year where there is a great opportunity to cement new relationships, earn money and hone your skills.
As in any time of year, the temp workers who succeed are those who are flexible, adaptable and available.
Having a recruitment team to support you can become your strongest Christmas ally.
