KENNER, LA - The executives at Aster & Evergreen, Inc. offered hiring strategies for companies ramping up for the holidays. The director of operations gave advice to seasonal job seekers

“At Aster & Evergreen, Inc., we know that hiring the best people is critical to the company’s success,” said the director of operations. “During the busy holiday season, it is equally important to bring in the right talent.”

The management team at Aster & Evergreen, Inc. makes a conscious effort to avoid a harried hiring approach during the busiest time of the year. “A well-run business has carefully-laid plans for the holiday season,” said the director. “Therefore, our process includes a developed hiring plan. Things will be more hectic, so we take extra care to find people who will fit in and produce the results we need.”

"At this time of the year, we run simultaneous campaigns, so we look for people who can rapidly switch gears. They also need to be able to handle the stress that comes with a fast-paced environment. Customers are more hurried too, so everyone needs to be able to handle the additional pressure."

“Once November arrives, most business leaders know what their hiring needs will be for the holiday season,” said the director. “Even if you don’t want to start work for a month or two, it’s best to lock something down at the beginning of fall. Competition for seasonal work can be fierce.”

Hiring for seasonal work can be an informal process, so the director advises applicants to be prepared. “When you stop in to inquire about a job, don’t be surprised if you are asked to fill out an application,” she said. “Bring a pen, a copy of your resume, a list of references, and proper identification. Also, the hiring manager might want to conduct an interview. You don’t want to be caught off-guard!”

“When you are looking for a temporary job, keep in mind that you need to be flexible,” said the director. “Here at Aster & Evergreen, Inc., we expect applicants to understand that the demands of the holiday season will cause hours and work assignments to vary. If you come to work for us with an open mind and a willingness to excel, your experience with us will be satisfying and rewarding.”
