What is a Seasonal Job?
If you’re looking for short-term work, you might want to explore the many seasonal jobs available to people. Though most may think of the seasonal job as a retail position during the winter holidays, there are actually many types of work that occur in different seasons and require a higher number of employees than usual. Sometimes the seasonal job is tourism based. For instance, it’s pretty easy to find summer jobs at places like theme parks, on cruise ships, or in hotels and restaurants with heavy summer tourist traffic. Employing a higher number of people year round wouldn’t make sense, but having extra employees during peak season can help with the extra work required. Another industry known for its seasonal job market is agriculture. During harvesting of grapes, other fruits and vegetables, extra hands are needed. Sometimes these jobs are highly technical. A chemist or biologist who works as an enologist, helping to test and produce quality wine may be employed on a seasonal job ba
You might have to work the holidays if the store is open. A seasonal job is to help the business through Thanksgiving to about New Years. That is their busy time with Christmas presents and right after Christmas the returns and the clearance sales. There are also seasonal jobs through the summer – life guard, landscaper, campgrounds . . . . in the winter – stores, ski resorts, etc.
