Here are 3 tips to compete for seasonal work in a holiday season that is not expected to do well.

1. Don’t wait, start looking now!

2. Focus on retailers where shopping will be more affordable for consumers such as Wal-Mart and Target.

3. Remember the restaurant industry, especially near malls.

Another area to look into for a longer term job would be administrative help for tax-related accounting or bookkeeping work. Tax preparation companies begin hiring people now for tax season, so if you are looking for a longer term position but not necessarily a permanent one, consider training in this field.
