Talking To My BOSS?

Question

I was hired before the Holiday rush. The person who hired me said nothing about it being solely a seasonal job. But, considering it was just around the time they were hiring for season- who knows? My question is, how should I go about seeing if that was their purpose in hiring me. And if so, talk to them about making me a permanent employee. I really enjoy this job and don't want to leave if that is, indeed, their intent. I mean, what do I say to them to make them say, okay maybe we should keep her around...Thanks for any advice.

Answer 1

you should take a look at your contract/welcome packet and see what it says... Also, how does the ending of your probationary period coincide with the ending of the holiday season? If it ends shortly after January 1st then you may well have a seasonal job, if it ends in say February then you've probably got your job until you quit.

Answer 2

Upon being hired, there was nothing said about your employment being seasonal - so there's no reason to think so and worry unnecessarily. Good to hear that you really enjoyed the job and don't want to leave. If still doubtful, no harm in approaching your employer and tell them that you really like the job and clarify if the job's seasonal. Good luck!

Answer 3

Just ask your manager in private and tell them you need some clarification to be be able to make your plans. Tell them you really enjoy the job...etc..and were you hired as a sesonal employee? That simple..Goodluck.

Answer 4

Talk to your boss and tell him how satisfying this job is to you and you would like to work as a perm staff. Don't forget to compliment just abit on how good the company is to you and how good he have being treating his staff. (Just not too much)
At least he will be more likely to check if there is an opening for a perm job for you and I'm sure if there is so in the future he will sure remember to call upon you.
