    -Using our software program to locate or order items in our inventory. Practice book-in-hand delivery to guarantee that customers are receiving the items they are looking for.
    -Ensure a memorable shopping experience by engaging with customers and making well informed book recommendations.
    -Completing register transactions accurately and quickly
    -Making determinations about incoming used materials including placement and pricing. Performing data entry of these materials into our inventory with extreme accuracy.

    All applicants should understand that being a bookseller requires manual labor e.g shelving books, lifting boxes and standing for their entire shift.

    You may also be required to work at one of our outdoor offsite locations a few days a week or join our merchandise team which requires strong analytical skills needed to determine proper product placement based on sales data.

    Applicants should be able to work 5 days a week.

    7:00 am - 4:00 pm

    11:00 am - 8:00 pm
    1:30 pm - 10:30 pm
    These are not negotiable start/end times.

    All booksellers are required to work Saturday and/or Sundays and some evening shifts.

    Strand is a union shop. All new full-time employees will automatically be registered with the union  
    after completing their 90 day probationary period. After one month, an initiation fee of $50 will be deducted from the employee's paycheck in 10 weekly installments and union dues will start to be deducted each pay period at a rate of 2.5% of gross monthly pay. 

    Benefits include vacation time, paid time off and a store discount.
