Description

SUBMISSIONS WITHOUT: A COVER LETTER ANSWERING OUR QUESTIONS RELEVANT EXPERIENCE WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED! **PLEASE READ THE ADVERTISEMENT CAREFULLY.** New Age Metaphysical Shop - Botanica: Are you looking for a unique and exciting work-experience? Do you have excellent selling and customer service skills? Do you want a job where you can take charge? We want you. We are expanding and have immediate openings for a Sales Associates. Positions are ideal for people with a flexible schedule who want a stable, fulfilling retail position with a growing company. We are a metaphysical store in need of well-studied staff to assist customers with esoteric spiritual questions, preparing dressed candles, advising on tumbled stone and crystal selections, and answering questions about various metaphysical matters ranging from modern Christianity to Thelema, Wicca,, Buddhism, and general practices such as meditation and smudging. Qualified applicants must have serious interest in the occult and be widely-read on topics such as religion, folk magic, crystal magic, herbology, tarot, witchcraft, etc. Duties will include answering customer questions on their level of spirituality (ie, if a self-identified Christian is asking about spiritual protection, don't give her a Wiccan answer), preparing candles, ringing people up, housekeeping chores such as vacuuming, general clerical work such as filing, pricing, inventory, data entry, etc. Further, staff is expected to write at least one blog post per day for the store's website, during downtime between customers. Candle dressing is one of our most popular services. What this means is adding oils and herbs to the candle so that it creates an environment conducive to the customer's spiritual goal. The staff can use any school of magic they prefer to achieve the results. We are a hoodoo-oriented store rather than a pagan/witchcraft shop, but do not expect all our staff to know hoodoo. Most of the customers are not pagan but instead mystical Christians (and also, muggles seeking magical help), and seem to prefer the hoodoo style of candle dressing over witchcraft. The staff member will listen to their problem, work out an ethical goal with the customer that is on their comfort level, and prepare the candle while advising them what the various components of the spellwork will help achieve. If additional action is necessary, such as preparing a name paper or taking a spiritual bath, the staff member will also advise on that. First and foremost we are counsellors and ministers, and this is a strong component of the daily work. We cannot accept neophytes or inexperienced magicians for this position -- you must be able to hit the floor with enough knowledge to answer basic questions on a wide range of spiritual matters. Full competency only comes with practice and all our staff -- including the owner -- learns something new every day because each customer brings something new and different to us. Magic is a flexible medium, and every candle or piece of advice is a custom request. We also have a substantial botanica clientele, who tend to be Hispanic Catholics. A working knowledge of Santeria,Palo mayombe,Curandismo will come in useful when assisting these customers.
