How do I find seasonal job listings for students?

I'm a high school junior looking to make some extra money this holiday season. Any tips on where to find seasonal job listings suitable for students? I'm particularly interested in retail positions or anything that can work around my school schedule.

Firstly, it's really smart of you to be proactive about finding a job. Not only will you have extra pocket money, but it'll also provide you some experience which can be beneficial in the long run.

Start by considering large retail stores or online fulfillment centers. These businesses always ramp up their staffing during the holiday season. Places like Target, Walmart, Amazon warehouses, and even local shopping malls or department stores may have open positions.

To find job listings, a good starting point is websites like Indeed, Monster, or Snagajob. Simply enter "seasonal" and your location as your search parameters. To find opportunities closer to home, you might also want to get in touch directly with local businesses or check their websites for job postings.

You can also leverage some apps like Appily (formerly Cappex), where retailers will list part-time and seasonal jobs suitable for students.

Besides, remember to tell your friends, teachers, and family members that you're looking for a job. Often times, personal connections are the easiest way to find an opportunity.

Lastly, when applying, be sure to reiterate your availability and emphasize that you can work around your school schedule. Retailers often need extra help for extended holiday hours and weekends, so being flexible will make you a more attractive candidate. Good luck with your job search!
