Assistance, Please?

I’m looking for one individual to assist me in growing the Urban Chocolate brand. My Style Spot just opened a few weeks ago and business is well, but it could be so much better if I had more hands! My current best-selling pieces are my handcrafted earrings and jewelry that takes the majority of my time and leaves no space for marketing and planning, so that’s where you will come in.

This is currently an unpaid position. However, there are other forms of compensation (like free clothes and jewelry). I'm also offering a $20/weekly gas or meal stipend. The ideal candidate will be available at least 6-8 hours a week including some Saturdays and some projects can be completed at home. I’m working to make this a paid position for the right person.

This is a perfect opportunity for a high school or college student who plans to work in the fashion industry or for someone just wanting to get some hands on experience in operating a business.

Qualifications:
• Must be serious, willing, and a SELF-STARTER
• Great MS OFFICE skills
• Great attitude, work ethic, and a love for fashion!
• Ability to multi-task
• Ability to take direction and communication effectively with other members of the team
• An interest in marketing, PR, and growing the business


Responsibilities
• Responding to/ sending out e-mails
• Updating social networks/websites
• Responding to press release and networking opportunities.
• Keeping the studio/office clean and organized
• Errands (picking up supplies, making payments, shipping and receiving, etc.)
• Assist with events/photo shoots
• Answering/making phone calls
• Researching for marketing tips/helping build the brand of the company

Please send your resume and cover letter, ONLY if you meet the qualifications to urbanchocolate@live.com. Indicate your availability and length of commitment. Interviews will begin as soon as Monday, July 25, 2011.

Thanks and good luck!
