When is a good time to start applying for a seasonal*christmas) job?

Question

like in department stores , ect when do they start hiring for the upcoming holiday season

Answer 1

Mid-late September/early October. When I worked at Sears for the holidays, I started in September.

Answer 2

I think it tends to be around the end of October. It tends to be about then here anyway!

Answer 3

Usually at the end of October in most places, but if you live in a larger city then I would suggest you start applying in late September, the holidays always start earlier there.

Answer 4

Oh I'm so excited to find a additional seasonal job myself.  I would think that most companies will start advertisting in September to get ready for Oct, Nov and Dec holidays. I'm starting to keep my eye out right now. You can never starting looking to soon. You know when the time comes to hire there will be thousands of other people looking for the same work.
