The festive season is around the corner, Amazon has decided in advance to get ready for it. Anticipating an urgent need for additional manpower, the online retailer announced the recruitment of 120 thousand temporary employees in the United States.
The company requires managers to work with clients, sorters, packers, and other specialists — hundreds of vacancies are open today on the website of the employer.
A Grand event for the recruitment will double the state’s Amazon almost half. Many applicants will have the chance to stay on permanently, as the firm announced plans to create 100 thousand jobs in the next year and a half. The announcement was made at the end of July, and since then new jobs open up regularly.
The holiday season promises to be extremely fruitful both for entrepreneurs and for those who are in search of jobs. This year the national Federation of retailers predicts the unprecedented activity of buyers — it is expected that Americans will spend on gifts $678.75 billion — more than ever.
To cope with the influx of additional workers will hire many retailers — in particular, Macy’s is planning to temporarily increase the capacity for 80 thousand people, and the Target 100 thousand.
