Have yourself a merry little Christmas job in Peterborough

Felicity Evans • Nov 25, 2015

It’s around this time of year that the feeling of being able to make use of an extra few hundred pounds intensifies. We all know what it’s like when the extra treats, or perhaps even the less-essential essentials such as a painting and decorating, get put off for the want of spare money in the bank, but at Christmas, this feels like something we just can’t ignore.

Luckily, Christmas is a time when we’re more likely than ever to be able to pick up a bit of extra work that won’t commit us to much more than a few additional hours a week until the holiday period is over. Many employers are able to fit in around temporary staff, and work is often at times that actually make it easier to fit around other commitments, such as a day job.

Temporary seasonal work is also ideal for students. For anyone who studies full time for large chunks of the year, the opportunity to work as much or as little as needed over Christmas is a god-send. Grabbing a temporary part-time job can be a brilliant antidote to that feeling of doing too little and eating too much, too! There’s a sense of fun, excitement and camaraderie that often goes hand-in-hand with a Christmas job, especially if it’s at a bar or restaurant.

For the pick of seasonal jobs in Peterborough, a trip to a recruitment agency is always worthwhile. A good agency should have a generous selection of different kinds of jobs, with hours that suit you. They should take into account what you can and can’t do, and where your skills lie, and use this information to guide you into the temporary role that will suit you best.
