Do many people get to keep their seasonal jobs?

Question

I want to apply for my first job. I’m 18. And I was thinking, if I apply for a seasonal job do you think they’ll keep me around if I work really hard?

Answer 1

Depends on the place.
I used to work at a retail store and yes if they were a good worker they would offer them a full time position. Retail is always hiring.

Answer 2

90% don't...unless the employer just so happens to need another person for a job.

Answer 3

No, not many but some do. And working hard is expected so it's certainly not a guarantee of anything.

Answer 4

It's your 1st job. Do it. That way you will have some experience when you apply for something stable.

Answer 5

No, it's a seasonal job, meaning the job doesn't exist after the season.

Answer 6

Working hard is only half the job, but still do that. Show up on time, all the time and even take on a few extra shifts if you're asked to. Have an extremely good attitude, also be polite to customers and you're co workers, including your boss. Also help out others as much as possible. Try to get along and fit in.
There's always a chance but some people do get let go in January if the boss doesn't like them.

Answer 7

some. most don't. good luck

Answer 8

What part of "Seasonal" do you not understand?

Answer 9

Probably not. If you were hired as seasonal worker then it's with the understanding that once the season ends so does your job.

Answer 10

There is a good possibility you will get to keep your job if the store or business has jobs that open up at that time.

Many times good workers are difficult to find. If you are a good worker, get along well with others, etc., then I would think they would want to keep you.

I was hired in a temporary position in my first job. I was a "sacker" at a grand opening of a new store.

"Sackers" are not a position that a store normally has, but they helped speed up the checkout of customers when there was a large crowd during the grand opening.

After the grand opening was over, they had no more need for my position and I was laid off; however, they gave me a recommendation at another store in the chain and I was hired there and stayed for more than a year and a half. So, while I did not keep the original job at the original store, it did provide an opportunity for me to continue to work at a near-by store.
