Christmas jobs come early at M&S

CHRISTMAS came early for some, but not all, as thousands of people queued yesterday for seasonal jobs at supermarket chain Marks and Spencer.

The unprecedented response to the advertisement for 600 seasonal positions seemed to catch human resources staff at the company a little unawares, as well as some of those waiting to be interviewed.

Sinead Vaughan from Kildare began queuing at 10am outside the Academy Plaza Hotel on Findlater Place, just off O’Connell Street, just as the interviews were starting.
