    Hello:)

    I am just wondering whether there will be jobs in Smyths for the Christmas season on a temporary basis? Are there usually jobs going there at Christmas?

    Or any other places?!:)

    Thank you:):)

    pretty much every shop will be, but you'll need to get a move on and start going around with your cvs and asking the managers personally

    I'd imagine you'd throw together a CV, drop it into them and wait. Or give them a ring. Or maybe intercept the postman at gunpoint and take his clothes and letters?

    I was informed by a reliable source that there are not so many jobs available with An Post anymore, even at christmas. And that it's usually family and close friends of those employed by An Post that get the few jobs that are available.

    Most retailers will be looking for extra staff at Christmas so apply to as many places as you can. Bigger places like Pennys/Dunnes tend to keep on the good staff PT afterwards as well.

    It's not so much the busy...it's more the "You ruined my Christmas" that's the kicker in that job.

    I worked there for over a year. Worst customers I've ever had to deal with.

    Any pubs hiring?
