Hi all, I was hired on as a seasonal employee and now that the holidays are over I’m afraid that they will start making cuts. I knew going in this was a real possibility, but I am hoping to be kept on. I have not missed any shifts, always on time and try to go above what is expected. Any managers here that can give me advice on ways to be kept?

In a lot of cases the store management may not have much of a choice, they naturally let seasonal workers go when the season ends. What you should is communicate your desire to stay. Don't assume that your manager (or managers) know you want a permanent position. Tell them you'd like to stay on. It sounds like you can make a good case for yourself, so make sure you put yourself in contention. Good luck!

Ask about cross training in another department such as hardlines, softlines, or the backroom. I used to work at Target.

Honestly, it sounds like you're doing everything you can. I would definitely let your manager know that you are interested in staying on, as sometimes they assume people don't necessarily want to. And you can even ask your manager if there are any ways you can make extra efforts to show your commitment to staying.

I will ask. Thank you for the great advice.

Sounds like you’re doing everything right—reliability and going above expectations definitely help. Staying proactive, showing flexibility, and letting your manager know you’d like to stay can make a difference.

I’d definitely express your desire to be kept full time. May not happen, but they’ll keep it in the back of their mind that you expressed interest and you’ll hopefully be at the top of the list if they have they opportunity to keep someone on
