Now Hiring!
NOW HIRING!!!
I am now hiring and looking for the most wonderful person possible! If you are reading this ad, chances are you know what my business is all about. As of right now this is a one person show with the help of my mom. After last year and the success I am looking to bring on a PT person, which will possibly turn into FT the closer to Christmas.
Who I am looking for:
I am looking for an energetic and outgoing person who loves being around art and is involved in the handmade world, even if that means you just go to shows. They would be motivated to think bigger and are a self starter. It is important they can learn quickly and are able to think on a dime to problem solve situations. I am looking for a professionally minded person that also knows how to let loose and have fun.
Job Requirements:
The main job I am hiring for is help at my shows. You would be required to manage your own little shop per say. You would be responsible to pack up for the show and then setup to sell. More often than not this will be at a farmers market during the summer, or at the various festivals I attend in the city. It is important and required that you hold a license and are an insured driver as you will need to drive a vehicle to the shows (I promise not to buy one that is too embarrassing to drive). Please note almost all shows fall on a Saturday or a weekend.
I will also need help in other day to day fun! Anything from creating a blog post, shipping online orders, helping me sort and prepare shirts or if we get a small retail space again, help customers upfront. You need to be available for 90% of Saturday through the summer and 2 other days during the week. Preferably Thursday and Friday, but time in those days would be flexible. The job might evolve into different needs for hours however.
Bonus’ to me:
This would include a design background and retail experience. None of this is totally needed as I can teach you these skills since a personality and a great head on your shoulders is the most important.
Perks!
Since your main focus will be selling at shows your pay is not only hourly, but will be based on a bonus structure. The better the day … the more you make! Can’t complain about that. Plus you will get HUGE discounts on all the products we make and sell. You will also have opportunity in the future to travel to shows which included Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto … for now. On top of all that if you come to lets say a Folk Fest you get free passes to enjoy the event as well if we are working together.
How to apply: If you are interested in applying please send an email to whiteoutworkshop (at) hotmail.com telling me a bit about yourself, past experience that will be helpful to this position and why you would want this job … besides making some money of course. It is very important to me you take pride in what this business is about since it is my life and I LOVE what I do. I can’t expect you to love it as much as I do, but pretty close!
Submission deadline: Now Feb 5th, 2012
Start Date: Beginning of April, or if you are a student currently it can we worked around.
Please leave March 17th – 18th open as well to possibly attend our silkscreening class free!
