Title: Best holiday job?
Post by: ashman on November 25, 2003, 09:21:05 AM
Need some cash and I'm trying to figure out if I should go back to my hotel clerk job or wonder into the holiday employement market. Any highly recommended holiday jobs?

Sears Electronics dept.  A kid who worked there said he makes great $$$ over the holidays.

Also a mall pet store.  They pay commissions (at least most do) so you can make some good $  One holiday I worked at "puppymill pet center" and made about $5000 in just over 2 months and worked only about 25 hours a week.

Now you can do better if you fudge personal income on credit applications, which was company policy, but I refused to do that.  In any event making $75 per $2000+ dog and $50 for any dog bet. $1000 and $2000, and making $25 for any dog worth less than $1000 is a damn sweet deal.  Being good at sales I excelled at closing deals.  

Of course I had to blind myself to the fact that many of these dogs would end up in a pound within 6 months, or be mistreated or used to guard drug dealers -but that wasn't my problem because if it wasn't me that would sell it to them someone else would.

After the holidays I had to get out -I just couldn't deal with it long term.

I worked at a mall toy store one christmas. Perhaps this is the reason I hate kids! Worst job ever!

I'm not proud of what I did, I used all the usual sales techniques to close deals.  But it's all about money baby and I made some good money pimping those puppy mill dogs.   Boy I could tell you some stories.
