We are seeking qualified candidates to fill 2 part-time positions at one of the nation’s foremost photography and fine art bookstores. Both jobs require working on Saturdays and Sundays, 8 hours a day (with potential to add up to 2 additional days for the right person).

These are busy, active positions and we’re looking for people who are hardworking, enthusiastic, personable, confident, calm under pressure, enjoy working with the public, and have excellent communication skills. They must be resourceful, responsible, detail-oriented and ready to approach all tasks – from the mundane to the complex – with equal vigor.

General store upkeep (shelving, processing, cleaning)
Helping with special projects and collections or whatever needs to be done.
Requirements
Prior retail experience – ideally at a bookstore - is preferred.
A thorough knowledge of modern + contemporary visual arts and photography is REQUIRED. Interviewees will be quizzed about specific artists, so you you’d better know your stuff!

Please e-mail books@arcanabooks.com a letter introducing yourself and attach your résumé - be sure to note all retail experience and provide current contact information for references. If you have any questions, please write books@arcanabooks.com.
