I was hired on for the holidays but I like it here. Plus, before getting this job, I was unemployed for two months. How do I impress my manager and make her want to keep me around after the holidays?

Be on time. Be a team player. Tell your manager about your interest in staying and ask what she’d like to see from you to make that happen.

I agree with this entirely

I mean this wholeheartedly. Read the book "Unreasonable Hospitality". You won't need to ask others for advice after this you'll be the prime example of it.

Just be yourself and be willing to help whenever help is needed

Well, it can be tricky because the store may not have a budget to keep on the seasonal help. However, you can do things like make sure you’re always on time. Make sure that the manager never sees you leaning or slacking off. Make sure like you’re always stocking or cleaning. If you can take any extra shifts that the manager offers. Just make yourself look the best worker in the store.

I would also mention to your manager that you want to stay on. That is a good way to put it on his/her radar. And then continue to go above and beyond in your role.

I agree with the first comment. Be extremely reliable, don't complain, be a good teammate and coworker. And definitely voice your interest in staying on

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities? My significant other and I are doing long distance and I feel like when I FaceTime with him, I emote more and show interest by asking more questions but from his end, he doesn’t always have a reaction or just nods, and it makes me feel like he’s uninterested. On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.

Additional Posts in Retail & Hospitality

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?
