Duration of Seasonal Jobs at Amazon?

I'm in high school and thinking about applying for a seasonal role at Amazon and curious about how long these positions typically last. Do they offer any opportunities to transition to a regular job after the season ends?

First, please note that Amazon does not hire employees, even seasonal ones, under the age of 18. If you are not yet 18, you will need to look into other opportunities for this year, but definitely keep Amazon in mind for the future!

If you are eligible, seasonal positions at Amazon last through a peak business period, such as the holiday shopping season - usually from early November through the end of December. However, the exact duration might vary depending on Amazon's needs at a particular location or time of year.

In terms of transitioning from a seasonal to a regular role, it's certainly possible. Amazon often offers high-performing seasonal employees the opportunity to apply for full-time positions towards the end of their temporary employment period. That said, the availability of permanent positions would depend on business needs and personnel shifts. If you show initiative and demonstrate a solid work ethic, you may increase your chance of securing a full-time role.

Remember, while working in a seasonal role, it's beneficial to network with your colleagues and superiors, learn as much as you can about the broader operations, and display a proactive, team-player attitude. It is also important to express your interest in a permanent job to your manager. This strategy can help you stand out when opportunities come.
