ALMOST 30 jobless recruits have been hired to work at two Argos stores in Glasgow in the run-up to Christmas.
The temporary staff will be based at the chain's city stores in Stockwell Street and Parkhead Forge with the possibility of some of them being kept on full time.
Admin manager Peter McKinlay said: "Although we primarily take people on for the Christmas rush, a lot will undoubtedly be kept on afterwards so it's not necessarily just a temporary job for them."
One of the new recruits is David Hurley, 19, from Glasgow, who says he's happy to be back in work after being jobless for a year.
