Following on from lock down where a lot of businesses had to make the hard decision to get rid of staff or close down all together, unemployment levels have risen.
If you are currently looking for work you may find it a lot harder than before as competition levels are high so unless you have all the skills and qualifications / experience they need, you may not even get as far as having an interview. Although you may want a permanent position you may need to look at taking temp work for the time being. With Christmas fast approaching, there soon will be many temporary jobs available in the retail sector. These can be great for people looking to boost their income with a second weekend job or for people who need to find work for a short period of time. Often if you can prove yourself as a good employee when on a temp basis they may be able to keep you on long term after the initial contract period has finished.
Temp work I the retail industry may be relatively low skilled work such as resupplying shelfs or doing stock takes but that doesn’t mean that you couldn’t advance to more interesting work if you prove yourself.
