It's hard to believe
the holiday season is almost here, but several Dothan retailers are already hanging
out the help wanted sign and they are not alone retail stores all across the
country are hiring thousands of people to help get them through Christmas.
Myra McCraney, the
human resources manager at K-Mart in Dothan said she's spent a lot of time
lately hiring new employees.
"Every week I've been
bringing in people. Today I brought in six people and next week I'll bring in
some more," explaine McCraney
K-Mart isn't the only
place bringing in new faces; Toys-R-Us, Target and UPS have already started
their seasonal hiring bringing in hundreds of people to help get them through Christmas
and perhaps beyond.
"As a seasonal
associate they can work anywhere from 20-40 hours a week. As we get further
into it and our extended hours are here their hours will increase of course and
that's where we also pick our best associates and a lot of times they do have permanent
employment with us after Christmas," said McCraney.
