Sharing on behalf:
We need a retail superstar in our Christchurch Store to work 4-6 hours on a Saturday, every Saturday.

This is a sole charge position and you will need to be great with customers and be able to wrap and present gifts in the way the customer wants (gift wrapped, gift boxed), however, most customers want to just purchase gift items on their own.
The shop is located on the busy Wairakei Road, next to the Aorangi Bakery.

If you are interested, please send an email to hello@packagedwithlove.nz

The start date is 5th November so we are looking to fill the position fairly quickly.
