Temporary Traveling Sales Job

Philadelphia PA

Description

Looking for one person to help conduct an annual “Back to School Art Print and Poster Sale” at a variety of universities and colleges throughout the Midwest and East Coast. This traveling event goes on the road in mid-August, and lasts anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks. The company pays for travel expenses while on the job, such as your hotels and meals. You would be working as my assistant, side by side, for this entire period. The pay is a base salary, plus tips and commission. The job requires a lot of energy, and is not for the faint of heart. At some of the sales you will be on your feet for 12 hours per day. There are long drives between campuses and long hours running the sale. Carrying boxes in and out of the event, each weighing up to 40 pounds, is part of the gig. The sales usually go Monday-Friday at each school. You must have a driver’s license, and also be able to take direction and work well under pressure. Along with what’s listed above, I’m personally looking for someone that doesn’t get stressed easily (especially in a fast paced environment), is honest, and is good at communicating their feelings and thoughts. It would be a huge bonus if you were vegan, or at least open to eating plant based foods. As a longtime vegan, I have found this makes life much easier while sharing meals, hotel rooms, and being around each other for almost the entire time we’re doing this job. The poster sale can be difficult, but it’s temporary, and with a decent pay out. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Jay
