Looking for Part-Time or Seasonal Work? Consider Joining Jackson Hewitt as a Tax Pro!

While many people may think of retail or delivery jobs as the most common or most prevalent seasonal positions, a recent survey² conducted on behalf of Jackson Hewitt found that 44% of the people surveyed prefer an office job for seasonal work.

Jackson Hewitt and its independently owned and operated franchisees have nearly 6,000 locations across the United States and they are seeking to hire a total of 22,000 seasonal employees¹ for the 2020-2021 tax season.
