A Round Up Of Almost 70,000 Christmas Jobs So Far...

31 Oct 2011

A Round Up Of Almost 70,000 Christmas Jobs So Far... As we are fast approaching the beginning of November, we thought we’d have a round up of all of the Christmas jobs news we’ve brought you so far in 2011.

Amazingly, we’ve already told our students and other young readers about close to 70,000 jobs that will be available this Christmas.

Even back as far as August, we were telling you about thousands of Christmas holiday jobs. First of all Boots announced that they would need an extra 7,000 staff at Christmas. Shortly after that, Asda said they would also be looking to fill 7,000 Christmas jobs. And, just before the end of August, we brought you news that Argos were expecting to hire 12,000 Christmas staff. Summer wasn’t even finished and we’d already totted up news of over 26,000 Christmas jobs in the United Kingdom!

September brought even more festive cheer when Sainsbury’s announced news of 15,000 Christmas positions and Matalan said they would need 2,300 staff for the Christmas holidays. Becoming the largest employer of temporary staff for Christmas 2011 to date, Royal Mail was next to come forward, saying that they would advertise 18,000 Christmas jobs.

Also in September a couple of shopping centres revealed that they would also be advertising Christmas jobs. 300 extra Christmas staff will be needed at the Silverburn Shopping Centre in Glasgow and a further 150 jobs will be up for grabs at Merry Hill in Dudley.

Most recently, just at the beginning of this month, we told you that Debenhams will be looking for 6,500 little helpers at Christmas.

As if that wasn’t enough news of jobs for Christmas 2011, we can now also let you know that Selfridges will be offering 1,500 extra jobs this year. Over 1,000 of the Christmas jobs will be at their West End store in London and more positions will be advertised in Birmingham and Manchester.

Don’t forget that as well as bringing you news of Christmas jobs as soon as we hear about them, we also advertise tons of holiday jobs and Christmas positions ourselves.

One of the best ways to find a good job for Christmas is to look into working at events. We’ve actually just updated our page dedicated to Events Jobs and many of the current positions we are listing have positions available over Christmas.
