It’s October, and you’re in for a treat…
Rugby; an extra hour in bed; getting handed confectionary by complete strangers. October is officially the month for giving. And even if Halloween really isn’t your thing, there are plenty of reasons to celebrate this month which don’t involve dressing up. In fact, we know where you can find 240,000 of them.
To help you get over your fear of a dead-end job, here are five of the biggest brands you could be working for right now:
Caffé Nero
Feel like you can’t function without caffeine? We may have found the job for you…
Caffé Nero have been crafting fine Italian coffee since 1997. Not only do they really know their stuff when it comes to Cappuccinos and beyond, they also know a thing or two about creating award-winning teams. That’s where you come in.
They’re currently looking for Baristas, Shift Leaders and Managers, in locations ranging from Hexham to Haymarket. If you love going the extra mile and want to make a difference to people’s mornings, you’ll fit right in.
And yes, there is a discount for staff. Your mornings may never be this productive again.
Locations: Throughout the UK

TK Maxx
Unfortunately, careers don’t come off-the-rack. Wait, they do? We stand corrected…
With more than 3,300 stores in 7 countries across the world, 3 e-commerce sites and more than 198,000 members of staff, TJX Europe (the parent company of TK Maxx) is the world’s leading off-price fashion brand.
However, their business would be nowhere if it wasn’t for the creative thinkers, instinctive decision makers and self-motivated individuals who sit at the heart of it. And it’s not just their retail operations they’re looking to add staff to. They also offer some of the best Head Office opportunities around within Buying, Merchandising, Finance, IT, Property, Sourcing and more.
Although be warned: TX Maxx customers have over 10,000 new items to choose from online every single week. Just think of that the next time you’re struggling to decide what to wear to work.
It’s time to live life to the Maxx… (And various other terrible brand-related puns)

Their current recruitment drive includes everything from sales positions and Travel Experts, through to Analysts and Accountants. There are even Ski Sales Consultants available, if you’re looking to go a little more off-piste.

UNiDAYS
The worst part of every graduate’s life after university: the day you’re officially denied discount.
UNiDAYS feels your pain, which is why they’ve made it their mission to help students shop more while there’s still time to save.
As the go-to source of student discount, 6 million students use their site for purchasing perks, covering everything from clothing, technology, music and even food. But all those free cheeseburgers don’t come from nowhere you know. That’s why UNiDAYS are on the lookout for talented staff to help feed fund the masses.
In return for your services and skills, you’ll receive a fun, fast paced and social working environment, not to mention 4.30 finishes on Fridays every summer, and something they like to call ‘baking Thursdays’. And yes, you did read that right.

Vodafone
One of the world’s biggest telecommunication brands are also hiring this month. Perhaps you’ve heard of them?
For those living under a rock (and/or without reliable 4G connection) we are of course talking about Vodafone. And with over 403 million customers worldwide, and counting, it’s not difficult to see why they’re always on the lookout to add to their staff.
They’re looking to fill hundreds of different positions across the country including, but not limited to, Service Desk Advisors, Network Engineers, Product Managers, Admin and Retail staff.
Fun fact: their name stands for Voice, Data, Fone**. Which, at the very least, will take up a minute of awkward interview small-talk.
Think you’ve got what it takes to work for Vodafone? Power to you.
