Retail Associate - Stephen A. Schwarzman Building (Part Time Seasonal)

Seasonal Temporary Part-Time Retail Associate

The New York Public Library is the nation's most extensive public library system. Within its landmark building on Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street, The Library shop serves hundreds of thousands of visitors a year with a collection of bookish items and books. We are seeking a Seasonal Temporary Part-Time Retail Associate who functions as a cashier and is both the face and personality of the shop. Enthusiasm, product knowledge, and customer engagement also play a part in the performance, and recognizing when getting through the line should be the focus. Above all, this person finds no job too big or too small not to attend to with good humor. This person should have a great visual memory and be curious to learn and share all the shop offers. Accuracy and speed on a POS system are critical. A flexible schedule is preferred, as is speaking more than one language, although neither is necessary. Saturdays, however, are a must.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, send us a note with your resume. Let us know what you're reading now and why you're especially suited to this position.
