Most seasonal positions with Macy’s are part-time, and require applicants to work evenings, weekends and some overnight shits.
Early this year, the company shut down 35 to 40 stores. The company’s 2016 seasonal hiring plan is essentially flat to past year. Job-seekers should apply in advance at macysJOBS.com or BloomingdalesJOBS.com, which lists current openings and details about interviews. Last month, Macy’s revealed it would be closing down at least 100 more stores-it now runs about 880 stores.
The Cincinnati-based is hosting its first national hiring day Friday, Sept. 30 between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.at all Macy’s locations. “This significant increase in staffing allows us to provide additional service to customers, however they engage with us”.
Wherever seasonal associates join the company all will qualify for a 20 percent merchandise discount on most of their purchases.
About 1,000 people will be hired for roles that support the 90th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and other holiday events like Santaland, according to a news release.
