Good news in a down economy...mall hiring seasonal help

Perhaps all is not doom and gloom this holiday season. At least four retailers are hiring at the Glendale Galleria for the holiday shopping season, according to a press release. If they are hiring, other retailers are probably hiring, too.

"Glendale Galleria is expecting it to be a good holiday season in terms of hiring," said mall spokeswoman Janet LaFevre. "Our retailers are hiring now and will continue through the holiday season."

Getting a second job is a great way to make more room in your budget. Here is who is hiring:

Macys Jobs - Click on "careers" for an online application or fill out one in the store.

Target - Apply at the in-store kiosk on the main floor or apply on-line on the careers page. Click on hourly positions and follow the steps to start an online application, which lets you chose a specific location.

JCPenney - Request a job application in the store.

The mall also has a page for non-seasonal job openings.
