Hello Long Beach!We are a small but successful brand in the alternative spirituality industry located near Bixby Knolls (Long Beach). We have been in business for 15 years, creating and shipping our own products such as scented baths, oils, powders, washes, colognes, books, candles, and more. Beyond products, we also offer services that are focused on enacting change in a person’s life and circumstances through life coaching and consultations provided by a team of life coaches with specific abilities and skillsets.
Our products and services are offered to the general public through our website only; we do not receive customers at our place of business so there is no face-to-face customer engagement. We are not a retail location but an online store and make our products in small batches by hand, packing and shipping them 5 days a week, Monday through Friday. We are looking to work with someone who lives in or in the immediate vicinity of LONG BEACH on a part-time to full-time basis, 5 days a week depending on our business needs. Proximity to our business is important to us so please keep that in mind when contacting us that we prefer someone who lives no farther than 12 miles of zip code 90810.
Core job duties require:
A STRONG imagination and creative writing ability and grammar in English. Many of ourhighly customized reports about custom services require us to describe the status of those services in a manner that is both interesting and in a way that is not repetitive (or appearing "copied and pasted"). Reports require descriptions of imagery such as symbols, shapes, animals, plants, people, figures and more that relate to the customers' service.
A STRONG dexterity and ability to use hands unencumbered as day-to-day tasks require small bags be filled with products, sealed to avoid spillage during transit, labeling of products, boxing and shipment.
A GOOD ability and comfort around a computer (either windows or mac) and apps such as Google docs, Google drive and other Google apps such as Gmail as they are used daily.
A STRONG ability to work independently without constant pressure to keep on task.
A good organizational mindset to keep our processes moving, requiring tracking of certain products to know where a service is at in the process.
Our business also belongs to an association that promotes quality service and ethical conduct by means of accreditation and evaluation of its members. For this reason authenticity and accuracy are important.
