Would you like to work at Drowning Creek?
Think you have what it takes?
We need someone in the Commerce area who is confident, organized, efficient, self-motivated, trustworthy, and able to handle juggling a myriad of tasks each day. A sense of humor is necessary. Tasks include packaging orders to be shipped, answering the phone, keeping the shelves neat and orderly, packaging prints for vending, possibly some framing, inputting orders into Quickbooks (we'll teach you), writing emails, running auctions, keeping the shop clean, playing with the puppies occasionally, and generally helping to keep the sanity here. You must be computer savvy, able to write professional emails to clients or customers, and handle the prints without damaging them. The building is cold in the winter, and hot in the summer, and tasks will possibly change or be added at the whim of your bosses. The hours will be 28-38 per week to start, with a training/probationary period of 4 weeks, and the eventuality of being brought on full time. Initial pay is $7 per hour, but will raise at end of satisfactory completion of probation. There is no health plan as of yet, but we hope to add that in the coming year. We are flexible in many areas as long as the work is getting done, and the packages are shipped on time. Some perks involved, but don't expect free tickets to every show we do posters for. You won't get to talk to any celebs on the phone, but you will have to speak to their management and merch people... you MUST be confident and have good phone skills. We'd like to fill this position with long term employment in mind.
Part of the screening process will be to see how intuitive you are, how you follow instructions, and how well you can handle working without having someone looking over you shoulders all the time. We are tremendously busy, and Jeff & I already work almost 7 days a week for up to 14 hours a day. We have one other employee at the moment, and he sometimes works long days when there are deadlines to meet. Occasionally, you may be asked to stay late as well. You will be expected to work while you are here - there is no room for slack at this business.
This is a pretty cool place to work if you don't mind clutter, and the eccentric bosses. It's not a party, though, it is work. If you think this may be something you would be interested in tackling, send an email to judy@drowningcreek.com with your contact info and the reasons why you think this job is something you would like to do and why you feel you are qualified. A resume is not necessary.
PLEASE do not email if you have to relocate for this job. This is an entry level position.
If you are offended by artwork like that which is on our latest Hank III poster, don't apply. We occasionally print posters with scantily clad, pretty girls on them, and whomever works here will be expected to package them for shipping.
There are also cats and dogs here, so if you are allergic to either, please consider that before applying.
If any of the above seems too intense, confusing, or overwhelming, then please skip sending your contact info. We understand; this job is not for the faint of heart. ;o)
