I'm considering a seasonal job at Macy's but trying to figure out the commitment. Does anyone know how long these seasonal positions usually last? Are they just for the holiday season or longer?
Seasonal positions at department stores like Macy's typically coincide with the busiest shopping periods. The holiday season, from November to January, is typically the most common time for these positions, due to the high volume of sales and foot traffic.
However, it's important to note that the exact duration of a seasonal job can vary depending on the individual store's needs. Some stores may extend a seasonal contract if they find they still need the extra help after the holiday rush, perhaps through February.
Additionally, if you perform well during your seasonal employment, some stores, including Macy's, have been known to offer regular, full-time or part-time employment to seasonal workers.
You should clarify the approximate duration and any possibilities of extension or transition to regular employment when you apply or during your job interview.
