Have any of you worked at Old Navy during the seasonal periods, like around the holidays? I'm considering applying for a seasonal worker position and would love to hear about what the work was like and any tips you might have!
From what many students have shared, working at Old Navy as a seasonal employee seems to be a pretty rewarding experience! It gives you an opportunity to gain customer service experience, collaborate with a team, and pick up some sales skills.
There's usually a variety of roles that you might have to take on: you could be working upfront as a cashier, assisting customers on the floor, or helping out in the fitting room. Towards the holidays, the store tends to get busy, and you might have to deal with long lines and large stock shipments.
A common tip from past seasonal workers is to stay patient and maintain a positive attitude. Handling frustrated customers or working long hours during the holiday rush can be challenging, but keeping a customer-first mindset can guide you through.
Many students have also highlighted the importance of flexibility. You may have to adapt to different roles based on the needs at the time, and the shift hours might be inconsistent, especially during holiday sales.
Lastly, don't hesitate to ask for help if you're unsure about something! Most stores have great managers and coworkers who are willing to support you. Good luck in your application process!
