Christmas casual positions

Looking for Work? The lead up to the Christmas season is one of the best times to get started. Businesses across Australia are starting to hire casual staff to prepare for the busy holiday period.

Christmas casual work is:

• A low commitment way to build experience
• A fun chance to try something new
• A stepping stone into longer-term jobs

Which industries need help:

• Department stores and shopping centres
• Hospitality (cafes, restaurants, bars)
• Warehousing and logistics
• Customer service roles
• Specialty jobs like Santa’s helpers or photography assistants.

Most jobs will provide on-the-job training, so don’t worry if you’re applying for your very first job – or your thirtieth!

Tips when applying for a Christmas casual role:

• Resume: Keep it short and suited for the role (ask your employment consultant for a template).
• What to wear: If you’re feeling stuck, an all-black outfit can be easy and look professional.
• Be prepared: Carry a pen and paper - sometimes an interview can happen on the spot!
• Follow up: Sending a quick thank-you email after an interview shows initiative and respect.
• Training support: Employment Plus can connect you with courses to help you feel job ready.

Christmas casual roles can be a great way to earn money, gain experience, meet people and explore work you enjoy. And who knows, what could start as a Christmas casual role could turn into something bigger!
