Guess What! We're HIRING!
Help us find that perfect someone wont'cha??
Match Maker, Match Maker, Make Me a Match!
We have found fantastic people who have helped us grow our business over the past 2 years right from our shop. Regulars who love our passion and commitment to the Upcycle and Reuse Movement have often asked if they could work here. YES we said, as those kind of folks are just what we are looking to hire. People who love art and upcycling and are not afraid to sell themselves and share their talents.
Sadly many of our team are moving on for various life reasons. Denise is headed to New Orleans (sigh...); Deb has a full Summer of Fun with her family planned; and Blair got herself a big fat promotion at her day job! I am so happy for my gals but now I am losing my team and want to look forward and see the opportunity to fill the gaps left by these amazing women with a bonafide SALES MANAGER!
Please spread this email to anyone and everyone you know who can commit to 3-5 full days a week for the next year and beyond. This candidate will help take us to even greater upcycling heights and I will teach them everything there is to know about starting a small business. Sales experience is a MUST but everything else we can teach.
Thank you fans for helping us find that new perfect someone.
