If you are looking for a job to get you through these tough times, than keep reading. There are companies hiring right now as we move into the holiday season. I stumbled on an article from Forbes.com, Who’s Hiring For the Holidays? Industries that are currently hiring include retailers, fast food, and health care. These jobs may not be at the top of your job search strategy, however if money is an issue for you, getting your bills paid, an undesirable job maybe better than no job at all.
Keep in mind that the competition for any potential job you may be considering will be fierce. There are many people on the hunt for a job. Some things to keep in mind as you consider holiday employment:
1. Don’t assume that you will be hired because of your maturity - Prepare to explain why you are currently in the job market
2. Take some time to determine why you should be hired for the position you are considering.
3. Continue your job search for job you really want
4. Remember that your job search may stretch into 2009 - Prepare yourself mentally and emotionally for a potentially long job search.
5. Understand that your emotional baggage will hinder you from getting hired. Eject the baggage and commit to working for a new employer no matter what things you have been through in the recent or distant past.
So whose hiring? Start with UPS and Fedex. Also, ToysRus. JC Penney, and Sears. They are hiring for the holiday season. Also, check out your local hospital. Even if you are not trained in the medical field, there are lots of jobs available that require no medical experience. My purpose in writing this post is to encourage you to get out there and see that there are some jobs available. It may not be in your field or your preferred profession, but work is available. Seasonal work will get you through the remainder of this year and into the new year. I have named a few organizations, there are more. Don’t limit your vision, or be too picky in this holiday season. If you need to work, and you can’t afford to stay home right now, then pull yourself together and get out there. It is an employers market. They can afford to be picky, so present yourself well.

２．花一些时间弄清楚为什么你能够获得你正在考虑的职位。
３．继续寻找你真正想要干的工作．
４．记住：你找工作可能会持续到２００９年—身心都要准备好，这可能将是一个漫长的找工作的过程。
５．要明白你精神上的负担可能会妨碍你被录取。无论你在最近或不久前经历了什么，抛掉包袱，使自己全身心投入地为新的老板工作。
