Sure, it might be a little too early to adorn your house with tinsel and lights, but if you're a job seeker, it's not too early to begin your seasonal job search.<br />Some job seekers slow down their job hunt at the end of the year, but by doing so, they might be missing out on seasonal employment opportunities. Many companies add temporary positions during the holidays, openings that they're starting to fill now.<br />Seasonal workers are needed across many industries and for a variety of job functions, and the positions have benefits beyond just a paycheck. Judi Perkins, a career coach with 22 years of recruitment experience and founder of <a href="http://www.findtheperfectjob.com/about-judi.html" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial; text-decoration: none;">Find the Perfect Job</a>, shares some of those advantages:<br /><ul style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><li>A holiday job can help fill a résumé a gap and give you experience that you can reference during an interview.</li><li>It's a connection that can prove to be beneficial after the holidays, either immediately or in the future. Take it as an opportunity to make yourself invaluable and build relationships.</li><li>You might learn something new. Whether the employer is shorthanded and asks you to undertake a new task, or you volunteer to help with a big project, not only will the company remember you, but you'll have new skills to market to other potential employers.   </li></ul>Another plus to working during the holidays? A seasonal job can become a long-term career, because some companies end up permanently hiring temporary workers.
