GREENWICH, Conn., Nov. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As the holiday season approaches, openings for winter seasonal jobs flood the labor market and online job boards. Jobdiagnosis.com, an online job search engine which hosts a large portion of food service and customer support jobs, has recognized a valuable opportunity for jobseekers within many of these seasonal positions. Beyond keeping unemployment rates down and putting some extra cash in the pockets of American citizens during economically hard times, some of the major companies hiring for winter seasonal jobs plan to promote many of these temporary employees to full-time positions after the holiday season. Below are some examples of major American companies that show promise in this respect:

A possible perk that jobseekers can expect this holiday season is better hourly pay for seasonal workers. According to Kiplinger.com, "More than one-third of employers expect to increase pay for their seasonal staff. Nearly three-fourths will pay $10 or more per hour, and nearly 20% will pay $16 per hour or more." The article also estimates a ten percent increase from last year in holiday hiring for retailers overall.
Many of these companies hiring employees for winter seasonal jobs are following the recent trend that Jobdiagnosis.com identified last month, by expanding their employee benefits to further the futures of their workers. One example of this is Amazon.com, who is now offering an impressive education benefits package, according to Lex18.com. To increase the chances of seasonal work leading to a full-time job, let your manager know from the beginning that you are interested in becoming a full-time employee, and be as flexible as possible with the hours and days you are available to work.
"This trend should not only present more hope to jobseekers, but also motivate them more since the likelihood of a seasonal job turning into a career gives it more meaning overall," states Michael Derikrava, President of Jobdiagnosis.com. "At the very least, even if your winter seasonal job doesn't turn into something more long-term, many of these roles are excellent opportunities for learning new skills, networking and building your resume."
