I'm a high school junior looking to make some extra money and gain work experience. Does anyone have tips on how to apply for seasonal jobs at Kohl's? Should I apply online or visit the store in person?
Applying for a seasonal job at Kohl's is a great way to gain work experience while also making some extra income. The process is pretty straightforward.
1. Prepare your resume: Start by preparing your resume, highlighting any previous job experience (if you have any) and current or desired skills that could be relevant for the job. Remember that it's also important to include any volunteering experience and extracurricular activities you've been part of, as these can show your teamwork and leadership skills.
2. Apply online: Although applying in person used to be common, in today's digital age, many companies, including Kohl's, prefer online applications. Visit the Kohl's Career page on their website and look for the ‘Job Search’ function. From here, you can search for seasonal jobs at the closest Kohl's store to you.
3. Fill out the application: Once you've found a position you're interested in, carefully read the job description to understand what will be expected from you if you are hired. Then, submit your application online. The application form will ask for general information such as your contact details, work availability, and past employment history.
4. Follow up: After submitting the application, it's advisable to follow up after a week or two if you have not heard back. This can help show your enthusiasm and make you more memorable to the hiring manager. However, be sure to be respectful of their time.
Remember, persistence is key. Don't be discouraged if you don't get hired right away. Keep applying to other jobs as well and use each application as a learning experience. Best of luck!
