Ohi Milan,

chilling out here. I have got a place to stay until next summer but not after. And then it will be a good time for a change. Of course only thanks to .net.

All the best
Franco

Xmas is a bumper time for them. Outside of the Festive period, most of their Job Opportunities are confined to Elfin Safety.

They're available for free from the National Elf Serv....

No, I couldn't do it.

I've seen Next, Boots and Superdrug are looking for Christmas temp staff.

Seems like a lot of temp roles around.

You need to be pro-active around the festive season. It's best to telephone agents and customers directly, using their mobile numbers. And you should do this on Christmas Day.

It should be the best time of the year for a new contract/job.

Of course it is a good time, everyone winding down, not initiating new work or new requests, putting everything off until next year, lots of people off on holidays...

Yes it is a fantastic time... Fill your boots...
