The holiday season – and all the shopping it entails – is quickly approaching. JCPenney is preparing for crowds of eager holiday shoppers by increasing staff for the seasonal shopping rush and plans to hire approximately 37,000 seasonal associates for a variety of positions in stores, JCPenney.com facilities and customer care centers. To fill the thousands of seasonal positions available in our approximately 850 stores, JCPenney is hosting its second annual National Hiring Day on Oct. 15 from 2-8 p.m. local time.
National Hiring Day events will take place in all JCPenney stores across the country, welcoming applicants interested in earning extra money for the season, enjoying an associate discount for holiday shopping or beginning a career with high growth potential. We’ll be seeking associates for a variety of customer service and support positions, including cashiers, replenishment specialists, SEPHORA inside JCPenney beauty consultants and more. Management will be holding in-person interviews and making employment offers to candidates on-the-spot. All skill levels are welcome, and candidates are encouraged to apply online at jcpcareers.com or in-store at one of our applicant kiosks prior to attending the event.
