We’re Hiring!

Yep.  It’s about that time when I need a true assistant.  Don’t get excited and think we are always saying “fabulous”, wearing Manolos, and letting ourselves in to some multi million dollar home to deliver fancy pillows – staging & design is not a glamorous job.  Am I trying to scare you away already?  Well, I’m just wanting to ensure that those who are faint of heart or have visions of HGTV stardom are not mis-lead…I’m nothing if not straight-forward and honest, sometimes to a fault.  

So what is it that I’m looking for?  First of all, personality & a brain are key.  I need somebody who can think for themselves, has a sense of humor and can admit when they make a mistake.  (C’mon, we’re not doing brain surgery here so if you goof something up just cop to it and we’ll fix it…just don’t repeat the same error twice and I’m cool with it.)  Integrity is a must…we are a small business, and somebody stealing from me or our clients could close us down – leaving us both unemployed and I’m NOT cool with that.  The right candidate will be highly organized and be able to prove it to me before the job offer is extended.  Detail oriented, including follow up is a MUST.  Can you be a little bossy without being offensive?  Because I need somebody who can corral not only me but also my stagers because we’re all a little A-D-D at times, combine that with O-C-D tendencies and you’ll have your hands full keeping us on schedule.  Presentation & communication is important – you’ll be dealing with our clients, vendors and business partners.  References will be required.

I won’t make you rich right away, we’re starting this role at $11 – $13 / hour with a 90 day review and ongoing room for growth & development.  See below for the actual job responsibilities and if you are interested, please send your resume and any other pertinent information (including salary requirements) to info@bymichellelynne.com with the subject line “Job Opening”.  Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!
