Seasonal hiring: what is paying well this year? - 4 months and counting

A retailer and two warehouses near Knoxville are hiring seasonal staff. I worked as a line cook before this. I would like to avoid a gap in my résumé. Which employers treat seasonal workers well?

Apply to several. Start dates and schedules change quickly and having options helps.

I was converted after one season because I showed up every day and volunteered for extra shifts. Managers remember that.
