- Bookseller :
A bookseller’s main function is to help customers. Therefore
you must love to help people, have excellent manners, and be genuinely
friendly. Booksellers are also expected to shelve books quickly
and efficiently, answer phones, work at the registers, maintain
displays throughout the store, keep current with what is on the
best seller lists and other book news, and express an overall
willingness to learn new duties throughout the store. Booksellers
are the “happy-helpy” faces of Title Wave Books –
the friendly folks you see out and about on the sales floor, at
the registers, and the Information Counter.
- Book Processor : The main function
of a book processor is to get all of the books ready to sell.
Book processors clean our used books, prep the new books, sort
all of the books by category, sticker the books, then take them
out to the sales floor. They are also responsible for the shelving
and maintenance of our Genre Fiction section, located at the back
of the store. Book Processors must also keep current with best
sellers and other book news. Book processors are also expected
to help customers throughout the store, answer phones, and assist
in other behind-the-scenes duties in the Processing Department
that keep Title Wave Books running smoothly.
