P/T Holiday retail job

Anyone have one?
I am toying with the idea of maybe 2 nights and a weekend day...
Anyone have any suggestions on good stores to work for, maybe ones that pay well? I have lots of retail experience, but from years ago...
And my FT job is in S Setauket, so I can probably include the Smithhaven mall in my search.
Also nearby are Bed Bath and Beyond, Marshalls, Home Goods, Kohls, Target, Best Buy, etc.
I am pregnant- do you think I will not be able to find a job? I'm not sooooo pregnant- just 5 months.
Any advice is appreciated!

Re: P/T Holiday retail job

Ya know i was tossing this idea around as well. Maybe at BBB. It's literally right behind me. I am not sure though. I dont think just because you are pregnant you will have a hard time finding a P/T job for the holidays

Re: P/T Holiday retail job

I don't have a P/T job.
If I had to choose one, I would look to go to Bed Bath and Beyond. You'd probably get some good discounts!

Re: P/T Holiday retail job

Im sure you will get hired...they are always looking.

I know they may require more hrs from you, esp on weekends!!!

Places like Bath and Body are affliated with VS and offer discounts in both places. I know pay isnt the best per hr.

Bed & Bath pays well from what I hear.

GL!

I have done retail during the holidays...it sux!

Re: P/T Holiday retail job

I already have 2 jobs and i wanted to work another one just for the holidays

There is something wrong with me!

I think the best stores are retail box stores (not clothing). You get some good deals that way

Re: P/T Holiday retail job

I saw a sign at Ulta that they were hiring...I'd do Pier 1 or Ulta.

I've thought about doing this as well. The extra money would be really nice.
I was going apply to work at the customer service at smithhaven mall selling mall gift cards but it said must work black friday and xmas eve. I won't be in town on xmas eve.

I am thinking Best Buy also, I heard they have great discounts.

I used to work at Sears Portrait Studio and I know they hire seasonal workers. It's fun but you need a lot of patience and you're on your feet the entire time..and now just on your feet, dancing around and acting like a lunatic to get cranky kids in velvet to laugh

Re: P/T Holiday retail job

I don't know of there's one by you, I live in White Plains, but Bloomigdales always hires seasonal workers and you get great discounts.

Re: P/T Holiday retail job

Anyone have any idea what kind of pay I should be asking for?

Re: P/T Holiday retail job

I just saw williams sonoma- they offer their employees a 40% discount!!!!

Re: P/T Holiday retail job

my aunt works at kohls every holiday season and likes it but as mentioned she has to work till 1-2am some nights.

Re: P/T Holiday retail job

I did it last year at Macys, but I worked Friday night, Sat-Sun. I was burned out from commuting M-F, then wasting my weekend away at Macys.

I now sell on ebay and actually make more than I did at Macys. Plus, I can do it WHEN I WANT TO in my PJs!!

Re: P/T Holiday retail job

I would think anywhere from $10-12 would be fair. But I think some of the lower end stores may only pay in the $8 range.

Re: P/T Holiday retail job

Bookstores hire holiday help too.

I'm not sure if they would require too much lifting for a pregnant woman, but they probably have just cashier or information desk jobs too.

I think a seasonal job won't care too much if you are PG, unless it invovles physical labor.

You might also be able to get a job working for the mall--at the gift wrapping office/mall services office, if they have one.

Re: P/T Holiday retail job

i'm considering this as well. pretty sad since my f/t makes good money, i'd like to just catch up on the debt a little.

Re: P/T Holiday retail job

if you have experience, I wouldn't take less then 10 per hour
