Seasonal hiring: what is paying well this year? after 10 years as a paralegal

A retailer and two warehouses near Denver are hiring seasonal staff. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I would like to avoid a gap in my résumé. Which employers treat seasonal workers well?

Keep a list of supervisors' names. A reference from one of them helped me land my next job.

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