Thank you for your interest in seeking employment at Page One Bookstore. Because any employment decision is a very important one, we'd like to give you some basic information about working here that might influence your decision to apply.
We are seeking employees who are book lovers and customer-oriented. This is a detailed and sometimes physically demanding job. You will spend long hours on your feet. We hire part-time and full-time employees. Our part time positions are ideal for students and other book lovers needing a flexible part time schedule. We need all employees to help customers with book and gift purchases, to work as cashiers, and to help logistically for in-store and offsite events.
Bringing books and people together is personally rewarding, yet working in a bookstore is not for everyone. Our beginning pay is $7.50 per hour, possibly more if you have previous book selling experience. You can expect to move into other areas of operation as opportunities present themselves and your interests and expertise develop. We see teamwork, book knowledge, flexibility and, above all, customer service as critical elements to the success of this store.
There are benefits to offset the hard work. Employees become part of a 28-year old independent community bookstore. Renowned speakers come through the store. Employees receive advanced copies of books. Employees receive great discounts on books and gifts.
If you feel that you can fulfill the requirements above, please apply for a position. Should a position be immediately available that combines your interest and qualifications with our needs, we will contact you. If no positions are initially available, we will keep your application for six months.
To apply, please bring a resume to Page One Bookstore. In addition to your resume, we also ask that you fill out our job application.
For your convenience, you can download your application here (applications are also available at Page One).
*In addition to general customer service positions, as of 2-28-10 we are also hiring for our corporate, web, and IT departments. If you feel you qualify for any of these positions, please specify so on your application.*
Thanks again for your interest in seeking employment at our bookstore.
The Staff of Page One.
