Jobs for the Holidays

by Mary M Rydesky -

Most retailers claim that shopping for the holidays leads to the most productive time of year. They sell more - so they require more assistance. Now is the time to take - and excel at - a temporary position in retail! 

What are the factors retailers seek? They look for workers who are reliable - on time, sticking to the schedule, doing tasks completely. They expect workers to 'dress up' with an appearance that is moderate - this helps shoppers feel respected and comfortable asking you for help. Retailers want people who smile and are friendly! Clerks who make eye contact and ask to help the customers!

If that is you, go to Google and input 'retail sales jobs in Anchorage' to find how many jobs are open. Then, go to a company's own career webpage and apply there. Go ahead - make some money, get some experience, and establish a reputation that enhances your chances of getting that next job!
