Similar to summer positions, many businesses hire seasonal help over the holidays to meet the increased demand. When the holiday season rolls around, companies across the board, from warehouses to delivery services to shops, need to recruit more hands to meet the surge in demand.

A seasonal position at one of the following businesses may be ideal if you’re wanting to supplement your income over the Christmas season.

In the following, you can find more information about some of the best companies to work for:

UPS

In order to meet the demands of the expected surge in package traffic from October 2022 to January 2023, UPS plans to recruit well over 100,000 temporary workers. There are both year-round and temporary opportunities available. Package movers, truck drivers, and truck drivers’ aides are all positions that may be filled.

UPS offers its employees the chance to make a living and advance their careers. The website also claims that around one-third of seasonal employees are offered full-time roles the following year.
