Are you a bright light of compassion? Are you both grounded and have good boundaries? A wonderful out going and social person? Are you looking for part-time work in Toronto?
I am looking for a new employee to help in running The Hermit’s Lamp. I am looking for someone who has experience in retail and who is out going and good at sales, talking on the phone, and computers (MAC). Running a small business means wearing all the hats at one point or another, including cleaning the bathroom and taking out the trash. Please be good at simple math like making change – there will be a test.
This is a queer owned shop. To work here you must be comfortable with people from all cultures, religions, genders, orientations, and spiritual practices. The shop is a safe space. You need to be able to meet people where they are at.
Speaking Spanish is an asset.
You don’t need to know everything about the spiritual goodies I sell — I’ll train you on the ins and outs of what things are.
This is a small business and you need to be a great communicator and good at working closely with co-workers.
Hours are 4-7 Saturday, 2-6 Sunday, 3-7 Monday (12-7 starting in September). This could expand over time – especially over the holiday season. Starting wage is $18.65/hour. You’ll get increases equal to minimum wage as the new increase comes in this fall.
Start date is to be determined. But looking to start training asap.
Please do not apply if you are planning on a career as a reader or healer or if you are making and selling spiritual products or plan to. You will be required to sign a non-solicitation agreement and NDA. This is not an inroad to reading at the shop.
If we are friends, you work for another spiritual shop currently, or I’ve read for you recently, you aren’t the right fit.
If you have read all this and are really excited to apply send me a resume —> andrew@thehermitslamp.com with the words “I love lamp” in the subject line. Resume submission closes Tuesday August 5th at 5PM eastern. Interviews to be held that week. Training to start asap.
