Another level of this position at will allow you to use these skills to actually buy items from the public, which requires a solid desire to create profit for SpaceCat.

While working with products that many people choose to revolve their lives around does make for an extremely fun work environment, I demand hard work, sweat and dedication from my employees.
We are looking for both Full-Time Team Members that can envision a career at SpaceCat as well as students, future students, part-timers and those looking for a second job.
All additional skills related to retail are an advantage. Knowing how to sell products—being a good salesman that convinces customers to buy bigger, better, more, and higher quality, while continuing to add on items and add on possible gifts for Timmy’s birthday in four months even though they came in to buy a pack of cards to give Sally on Easter will really pump up the register totals.
Your skills in marketing, painting, store design, sign making and all skills needed to successfully run a retail shop will not go to waste. Ability and desire to perform light maintenance is a big plus, but not required.
The most recent successful hires at SpaceCat have learned to mix retail sales while customers are buying, with administrative tasks, on-line product listings and shipping while sales are slow. The people hired for this position will be those with the best mix of talent and experience at the price point required to retain their services.
A very short questionnaire will be sent to all that reply to this listing to determine your compatibility with our requirements. Out of area applicants will not be ignored. Distant College grads with an overwhelming interest in our products will have the opportunity for phone interviews for the Retail positions.
In brief, the list of skills necessary to be successful is quite small; the list of skills that will be beneficial is quite large. Interested parties may use the standard Monster communication or use the employment@SuperSpaceCat.com
