I posted this article today on RCEURO and thought it would be fun to repost here.
As we come up to Christmas 2009, we thought we might take a tongue in cheek look at the hiring challenges facing a temporary business, based in an unpopular location with little transportation infrastructure or connectivity to the outside world, other than a brief 24 hour window. Working conditions are 24x7 leading up to the annual close of the business when all staff are made redundant until the following season; other than management staff, who are able to take a long summer vacation.
- Update his corporate Career Site on Santaclausjobs.com
- Post a job on northpolejobs.com
- Use generic job boards

- Explore his LinkedIn group (Santa's Little Elves)
- Create a Facebook Fan Page (Working for St. Nick)
Perhaps his Job Post would look a bit like this:
