Consumers are expected to spend a record amount of money online [shopping](https://money.com/shopping/) this holiday season, and companies like Amazon and Target are preparing for the influx of demand by kicking off their seasonal hiring now. If you need some extra cash to cover the rising costs of housing, food and other essentials, these short-term jobs may be an attractive option. They tend to be appealing for people [in between permanent roles](https://money.com/americans-looking-for-jobs-record-levels/), but you may be able to pick up seasonal work as a second job, too. In September, 5.3% of people held multiple jobs, which is the highest amount since early 2008. ## Getting a great job starts with a great resume ### A Resume Builder can not only help improve your resume, but also match it with your career goals.

But there’s still several opportunities out there if you’re interested. Here are some companies that are hiring: ## Amazon Amazon is hiring [250,000 workers](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/workplace/amazon-seasonal-jobs-holidays-us) this holiday season for roles that pay at least $18 per hour. The company says these jobs they be a stepping stone into a longer career. Workers may get access to benefits including health care the day they start working as well as same-day pay. Roles involve fulfillment and transportation operation. There are full-time, part-time and seasonal jobs available. ## Target The mega-retailer is [hiring](https://corporate.target.com/press/fact-sheet/2023/09/seasonal-staffing) 100,000 seasonal employees for its stores and supply centers, with pay starting between $15 and $24 an hour. Target has hired the same number of seasonal workers for several years running now. The company is also offering current employees additional shifts to meet the expected uptick in volume. Looking for a longer-term gig? You're in luck: More than half of Target's seasonal employees get the opportunity to stick around after the holiday season. ## Kohl's Kohl's is [recruiting](https://corporate.kohls.com/news/archive-/2024/september/kohl-s-to-welcome-seasonal-hires-with-perks-of-expanded-wellness) seasonal hires for its 1,100 U.S. locations. The company is touting a "flexible schedule" and health and wellness benefits. Kohl's has not specified how many people it will hire. ## Walmart Unlike other retailers, Walmart has not made a seasonal hiring announcement for 2024. The company is offering additional hours to its workers, and additional staffing needs are being addressed on a store-by-store basis, according to multiple outlets. Workers can expect an average hourly wage of at least $17.50. This is the [second year in a row](https://www.pymnts.com/walmart/2023/walmart-deviates-from-holiday-hiring-spree-amid-economic-uncertainty/) Walmart has not had a holiday hiring initiative. ## Bath & Body Works Bath & Body Works is [seeking](https://www.bbwinc.com/media/newsroom/bath-body-works-recruits-more-than-30-000-new-seasonal-associates-ahead-of-holidays?) 30,000 seasonal associates for its 1,800 North America locations as well as 2,700 seasonal workers for distribution centers in Ohio. The roles include "part-time seasonal sales associates... and full-time merchandise handlers, merchandise processors, high lift operators and outbound loaders in its distribution centers," according to a news release. The company did not report a figure for how much these roles pay. ## Build your professional brand with a Resume Builder ### TopResume offers a place to take your career stories and create your professional brand, starting with a great resume.
