    Read the Overview Seasonal jobs are often first jobs for teenagers. Many retailers hire young employees, with no experience, to help with the rush of the holiday season. This is one of the only times that experience may not be necessary as there is such a need to quickly add employees. You decide to research which companies hire the most employees during the holiday season to see if there are any located in your area.

    In this assessment, you will use the skills you learned in Unit 2 to create a spreadsheet containing information about companies that hire the most seasonal employees.
