Does anyone have experience working seasonal jobs at JC Penney? I'm considering applying for extra cash, but I'm curious about the kind of tasks and hours they offer during the busy seasons. Any advice or tips would be appreciated!
In terms of tasks, seasonal jobs at JC Penney typically include sales, customer service, stocking, and cash handling, among others. There's a good chance you would be dealing directly with customers, helping them find items and answering their questions. You might also be responsible for keeping the store neat and tidy, restocking items as they sell, and operating cash registers.
The hours can be quite varied, especially during busy seasons like the holidays. Stores often extend their hours to meet increased customer demand, which can mean night and weekend shifts. It would not be unlikely to experience changes in schedule week by week.
Finally, a tip I'd give anyone stepping into a seasonal job is to have a positive attitude and a strong work ethic. Keep in mind that seasonal jobs can sometimes translate into full-time or part-time positions after the holiday season ends. So, demonstrating a good work ethic might open up further opportunities. Good luck with your decision and potential application!
