LAS VEGAS (FOX5) —Seasonal holiday jobs through Amazon go quickly once they’re posted online, but FOX5 is helping people get the upper hand in securing one of those jobs.

FOX5 talked to Amazon officials who walked us through its jobs website. First, go to amazon.jobs. When there, you will “create or update your profile,” which you will find at the top of the page.

At the bottom of the next page, look for “New to amazon.jobs?” and then create a jobs account. Next, type in an email address and a new password. A verification code will be sent to your email. Input the verification code to move on.

Users will then see a page to “add your resume.” You are also asked to input contact information, career preferences, experience, skills, and education.

The next step will be to look for jobs.

Back on the home page, search for the “location” where you want to work. Several jobs will pop up. However, Amazon officials say the jobs you will see may not be seasonal. They say batches of seasonal jobs are typically only added on Fridays. Officials say those jobs can go quickly. You can set up a job alert to notify you when something comes up. But officials say you need to be near a computer to respond right away.

Amazon says it has a recruitment center available to help people start the employment process once someone accepts an offer. Potential employees are required to take a drug test and will be paid for training. The company says people may be able to start working just a few days after accepting an offer.

Seasonal jobs will be posted online through December. Those jobs include finding inventory that people order online, along with packing items for shipping, among other jobs. People will also be able to see part-time and full-time positions.

Amazon says seasonal jobs pay an average of more than $19 per hour. The company says there are no work-from-home seasonal jobs available.
