nick6ten Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Anyone ever work any holiday/seasonal jobs that don't suck? Any that were actually pretty rad? Found out today that I should be looking for one, looking for some suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I have a few friends who get paid dress up and scare people for haunted houses/corn mazes/hayrides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I would suggest that if you are gonna have a job for a month or two, take whatever you can find that pays the best. You will be out of there before the "I hate my fucking job" feelings really hit hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Amazon is hiring 50,000 seasonal employees, if you live near one of their warehouses. Granted that may not be too fun for everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick6ten Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 There is an Amazon warehouse pretty close to me, so I'll be checking that out. I was looking more for, if anyone had any sweet holiday jobs before that they would recommend, instead of your basic retail stocking, warehouse fulfillment.

SweetJerryWine Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 A few years ago I had a seasonal job doing retail for Futureshop/Bestbuy over Christmas. It ruled, and the discount made gifts for lots of people pretty easy. Plus commission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 When I go home for Winter Break I usually work as a Mac specialist (sales) or a technician. This year I'm going back to my bank because I'm up for consideration for a pretty awesome internship 16 weeks = $25k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werner Herzog Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I know in Ontario we have the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) and they hire people during Christmas time. It's a nice atmosphere, surrounded by alcohol AND it's a government job, so you get benefits and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcm1610 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Ice rinks. They're fun because while normally you're an unsupervised janitor, you get all the free ice-time you're willing to skate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
