Hello! We are looking for a retail associate for the Downtown DC Holiday Market, an outdoor market that takes place from November 22, 2024 (closed on Thanksgiving Day) through December 23, 2024. The market will be located on F Street between 6th and 9th streets, in front of the National Portrait Gallery in the heart of Washington DC. The booth structure will be a hard-walled hut with a locking security curtain, heat, and electricity.
Our booth represents the work of six different Philadelphia-area artists (and a few handmade wholesale lines) who are members of the Crafts Dept. Philly Co-op. We make jewelry, ceramics, prints, clothing, home decor, and more. You can see photos of last year's booth and our work here: https://www.instagram.com/craftsdeptphilly.
We are looking for friendly & motivated workers who aren’t afraid to assert themselves and interact with the customers. Honest, detail oriented individuals who are reliable and communicate well are a priority. There may be times when you are working alone in the booth. During your shift you would be responsible for sales & cash/credit card transactions, interacting with customers, making sure products are stocked, keeping things tidy, and opening/closing the booth. We insist on being diligent about checking for counterfeit bills with a provided marking pen.
We are offering $22 an hour with the possibility of daily sales-based bonuses. We will be collecting W-9’s and will disburse weekly paychecks. Next year you will receive a 1099 with your earnings statement.

- Cash handling experience
