Winter Work

As we progress well into the winter season, opportunities for temporary and seasonal work open up across the county. It's fair to say that temporary work isn't suitable for all job seekers out there, but there are plenty of cash hungry students and new graduates who are looking for a few months' pay to tide them over to the New Year. Winter work is also ideal for school leavers who are looking to get their first real taste of employment; with so many roles in retail becoming available during winter, some simple yet important lessons can be learned about the world of work to young employees nationwide. So, if you are searching for some temporary winter work, consider some of these factors whilst planning your job hunting strategy.

Retail Vacancies

It's no secret that the amount of shoppers in any district increases dramatically during the approach of Christmas and the vast majority of stores can certainly expect to see a raise in sales during these weeks. Therefore, it stands to reason that these stores are going to employ extra staff and extend their opening times by at least a couple of hours to maximise sales. This is why jobs in retail are incredibly popular to those looking for winter work; many jobs in retail are a great starting point for young people and can make a reliable first addition to a CV. These roles are also ideal for university and college students looking to earn a little extra cash during their winter holidays.

Catering and Hospitality

Job opportunities in restaurants and hotels are equally as popular during these winter months; as you can imagine, many people like to lavish themselves with enjoyable meals out and winter breaks. Eateries and hospitality establishments can also expect to see a rise in sales and are likely to recruit for temporary staff during the winter period. As with roles in retail, hospitality and catering jobs are a fantastic starting point for school leavers, or anyone looking to gain experience or references for future employment in these industries.

Public House and Bar Work

Bar work is certainly one of the main sources of temporary work over the Christmas period; with many people on enjoying nights out during their winter break from work and University, these establishments will be booming with business and therefore require extra staff and support to handle the workload. Bar work is a nice way of making some extra money, and if your manner and service is up to scratch, you could make a killing in tips from jolly customers during the season of giving!
