RETAIL SALES ASSOCIATE/INTERPRETIVE GUIDE- HALIFAX WATERFRONT

SEASONAL

Every person who walks through the doors of an Amos Pewter shop does so for a particular reason. From our long-time loyal customer who is looking to add to their collection to the new customer who was attracted by the hand-crafted pieces in the window display and even the person walking along the waterfront who just ducked into the shop for a few minutes to escape the heat. We know that our hand-crafted pewter creations are exceptional - kudos to all our artisans for their creativity and attention to detail. We want you to be the icing on our cake!

A typical day for you might include:

Welcoming visitors with all the enthusiasm of seeing an old friend

Helping a young man find the Wild Rose necklace he came in to buy for his girlfriend and wrapping it up with the matching earrings you pointed out

Wowing visitors with your knowledge of pewter as you share the steps in the design and production process that transform the solid ingot of pewter into the hand-crafted pieces in the shop

Calling Mahone Bay to order more nativity sets

Channeling your inner neat-freak throughout the shop

We'd love to see your resume if you:

Have the superpower of knowing what the perfect gift is for that special someone even though you've never met them

Can make somebody's day better just because of the great experience they have with you

Are able to explain just about anything to anyone, face-to-face and on the phone

Can think on your feet and feel confident in your decision-making

Would be enthusiastically described as "reliable, flexible and dedicated" by your previous employers

Bonus points if you:

Have a plaque hanging on your wall at home saying "the customer is always right"

Get excited to offer your ideas to others on teams you work with

Want to rock this position and have fun doing it

We offer successful applicants:

Discounts on our hand-crafted designs

Hands-on training in retail and demonstrations

A team environment

By the way, you don't need to have been a superstar sales person in your past life to have developed your awesome people skills - we've been excited to work with superstars from heaps of different backgrounds. We can't wait to hear your story!
