While doing some casual work might be better not only to making some extra money, but also to develop interpersonal and communication skills.
In preparation for the influx of excitable shoppers, many companies are on a recruitment drive to find Christmas workers.
For anyone in need of boosting their cash flow, temporary work over this period could be a wise move this Christmas.
Bill Richards, UK Managing Director at job site Indeed, revealed: "The pressing need for talent at this time, combined with retailers trying to keep up with consumer demand during the shopping season, creates an additional burden on employers who need support from Christmas casuals, and fast."
