This is an entry level position, and being as such the job starts at minimum wage, so if this is not what you are looking for, this post does not apply to you! If you are a highly skilled individual looking for work feel free to email, we have a lot of companies we are aligned with that are always looking for skilled individuals. Thanks.
Looking for a person, could be a first job for someone, that will help perform a wide range of basic tasks such as moving stuff around the office, moving files from filing cabinets to storage cabinets, general cleaning, general yard work, picking up fallen branches, raking leaves, helping plant plants, helping clean up on some renovation jobs, maybe helping to do some painting, etc. Any number of tasks that help is needed on, so it's kind of fun in that you won't just be stuck doing one boring thing all day long, unlike most jobs!
Must live in Ithaca, or have reliable transportation to Ithaca.
This is an entry level position, so you will pretty much always be working with someone else, or nearby to someone else. Hours are somewhat flexible, and can change a bit per day as needed, yet we would aim for you starting around 10:30-11:15am as we have other things each morning to set up before needing help. If you want to start earlier and are able to follow directions and are self motivated, we could work out an earlier start time for you.
If you are a go-getter, there is a lot of opportunity for training and advancement, but if you are more comfortable just helping out to perform basic labor that is okay too and if you are not looking for advancement that is 100% okay too.
No clumsy or people that don't take safety seriously are needed. We do not want you getting injured on the job. This job does require physical labor, so you must be reasonably physically competent.
Relaxed low pressure work atmosphere, so only people are wanted that don't wish to make it different than that. Sorry, no smoking or using non-prescribed substances on the job due to safety concerns.
Job will start at minimum wage, and based on satisfactory performance can go up from there. Possible housing could be provided for the right person at some point after making it through the probationary period. This will have to be discussed separately.
Really looking for a trustworthy reliable caring clear thinking individual that wants to start on what can be a long term job/career trajectory. Given that this might or might not be your first job, you will need to be clear on how to keep from bringing your personal life to the workplace. Fine to talk about whatever during work and over lunch, but no drama of friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, or whoever stopping by the work place to have it out, or whatever. Sadly have to spell that out these days. When you are at work, you are at work, and you will need to keep phone use and personal relationship overlap with work minimized.
As stated hours are variable and typically will start late morning and can go until 5:00 or 6:00 sometimes. If you have to catch a bus home, then we will allow for that. Any late days can be worked out in advance in case you need to leave early.
Basic work gear can be provided when/if needed such as work gloves, safety glasses, etc., but you will need to have basic clothing that you don't mind getting dirty. Work will be inside and outside, so you will need to be able to dress appropriately based on weather conditions. No big deal.
You will be working around trustworthy and supportive people, so no worries about weird workplace dynamics. No clothing or accessories can be worn at work that would pose a safety risk to you or others. If you do not have work boots, that it fine, sneakers are the preferred work foot wear.
Possible openings for two people in this position, so if you have a friend or sibling that also wants to work in this capacity feel free to bring it up.
We can make this position more full-time or part-time depending on your needs. Prefer someone that would prefer to get between 30-40 hours per week
Preference in hiring will go towards someone that is looking for a long term job, and who would eventually like to be considered a valuable team member.
But, since many people are in Ithaca are in town on a transitory basis, we will consider someone who is in town for a specified time, however we would need to discuss how long that time would be. It would need to be factored in months, not weeks.
Weekend work is also available.
If you are looking for a good easy non stressful job to start your work career, or to get out of whatever line of work you have been doing, this could be the perfect job for you!
Attention parents. If you are replying to this post on behalf of your child, have some integrity and disclose this upfront! Happy to work with you on your child starting a job, but please people, stop falsely replying as if you were the person looking for work, and giving us "your" name and your "number" to get us to call "you." It's not cool. Just be upfront. Sometimes it's a group effort, not a problem. Just no bs people, c'mon.
As we may be hiring any number of people we will be leaving this post up until we have hired everyone we are looking for. Please check your spam folder for any responses, many times seemingly emails through craigslist get lost.
Payday is every Friday.
Please email us and let us know how many hours you are looking to work on average a week, and if you plan on staying in town, or have plans to move out of the area in the next year or so. Please let us know if you have any work experience, and if you have graduated from high school or not, and if you don't have any work experience what your favorite subject was in school, in any, lol.
Just shoot us an email, and we can go from there.
If you feel you have verifiable skills or work history that would denote justifying starting at a bit higher of an hourly rate, happy to discuss.
