Nine people, one room, and a rail that has to be right by ten in the morning. When there is a place, it is listed here.
Write to us with a paragraph about yourself rather than a covering letter about us — we already know what we do. A short reply comes within a week, whether or not the answer is yes.
Then a conversation at the shop, out of hours, over the espresso machine. Then a paid day on the floor or at the bench, because neither of us can tell from an interview whether this will work. We decide after that.
Saturdays are long. December is longer. The stockroom is small enough that everyone carries boxes, including whoever is nominally in charge. In exchange: a staff discount that is not a token, your alterations done free, and a shop that closes on Sunday and means it.
Write anyway. Twice now the right person arrived four months before the vacancy did, and we kept the letter.
