Dates every holiday hire has to cover
Seasonal jobs exist because of a few very busy weeks. Being free on these dates is the main thing a store manager checks before hiring you.
Seasonal contracts end with December. Store hours and dates can differ by location.
💡 Turn a holiday job into a steady one: strong seasonal staff are often kept on in permanent roles once December is over. Tell your manager early that you want to keep going in January.
