Looking for a new role? May the fourth be with you…
Ok, we’ll admit it – it isn’t always easy to concentrate on your career in May. But there’s more to this month than Bank Holidays and hilarious Star Wars-based puns. With thousands of the UK’s biggest businesses hiring, there are plenty of opportunities out there for a new start. And, let’s face it, it’s still better than watching Eurovision.
To help you make the most of May, here are five of the top companies hiring right now:
All Bar One
If you spend most of your Bank Holiday at the bar, you might as well get paid for it…
Part of the Mitchell and Butler chain, which also includes the likes of Harvester and O’Neills, the first All Bar One opened its doors in Sutton in 1994, and quickly became a high street favourite.
Offering a good mix of food, drinks and affordable prices, the chain has gone on to open over 50 locations across the UK. And, as part of their ongoing expansion, they’re on the lookout for staff across the country.
Current vacancies include everything from General Managers and Deputy Managers through to kitchen staff and Sous Chefs. Applicants don’t even need to have previous management or hospitality experience – with full training provided for anyone with the right transferable skills.
Think you’ve got what it takes? Just want to learn how to make mojitos? Apply for a job with All Bar One today.

Dreams
OK, so we can’t promise you a job as professional sleeper or bed tester. But we can get you one selling beds. And that’s kind of the same thing, right?
Dreams is the UK’s number one specialist bed retailer, selling more than 10,000 mattresses, bases and headboards to sleep-deprived customers across the country every single week.
But it isn’t just retail staff they’re interested in. There are a whole bunch of other opportunities available at their ‘bedquarters’ (definitely a real thing), including jobs in administration, IT and finance, as well as roles for Delivery Drivers.
They’re also recruiting for a number of graduate positions, to help add to their marketing, ecommerce, buying and merchandising teams.
Whoever said the job of your Dreams was hard to find? (N.B. Sleeping on the job not actively encouraged).
Locations: Throughout the UK
L’Oréal
Looking for a job with lots of body? Is your career just rinse and repeat? Have nice hair?
Health and beauty behemoths L’Oréal are, quite simply, the world’s largest cosmetics company. And, aside from being a billion pound brand name in their own right, their stable of products includes household names the world over.
But whether it’s thinking up fragrances for the likes of Giorgio Armani, YSL and Ralph Lauren, or manufacturing makeup for Maybelline, Garnier and Urban Decay, it takes more than a few ideas (and/or a good sense of smell) to keep them at the top.
Their 80,000 person workforce, for a start.
They’re currently looking to fill positions throughout their Boots and Debenhams-based concessions, as well as some field sales and account management roles. Successful applicants will receive a great salary and excellent benefits. See also: discounts, and all the free samples you can handle.
Because, you know, you’re worth it. Obviously…

Tesco
Tesco started with a simple mission: to serve Britain’s shoppers a little better every day.
And with thousands of deals offered daily, in almost 3,500 stores across the length and breadth of the UK, it’s fair to say that the second largest retailer in the world aren’t doing a bad job.
They’re always looking for passionate people to help move their business forward, and there are hundreds of different roles on offer right now. So whether you’re interested in retail and customer service jobs in Chester, or tech roles in Talbot Green, they’ve got you covered.
And, did we mention that they dozens of these roles involve working on the wine and spirits aisles specifically – and come with a 10% discount across all products?

Ticketmaster
Remember the time you were desperate for Drake tickets? Ticketmaster was there. And when you needed last-minute seats to The Lion King? Ticketmaster was there.
And remember the time you started searching for an apprenticeship, or roles in account management, accounting, and finance?
OK, you see where we’re going with this.
The online ticket hub – which records an incredible 200 million unique visits every single year – are looking for highly-motivated, creative and well-organised individuals to join the team and help promote some of the world’s biggest events.
Benefits of working for Ticketmaster include being part of a company that will help you realise your ambitions and move your career forward, not to mention great rates on tickets for almost every type of event imaginable.
