Start your search early
Do not start looking on Black Friday, (the day after Thanksgiving). This is the busiest shopping day of the year and managers will not have time to talk to you nor hire you. They want their staff in place before such. Begin your search weeks before the rush.

Temporary Staffing Agencies
Contact and register with a couple of temporary staffing agencies. Once again, contact these firms early. Often these agencies have the inside scoop to many seasonal - help positions because they have been supplying talent to these companies for many years.

~ If you are interviewing for a job in a retail clothing store, try to show up dressed in an outfit from that store.
