Alaska’s Best Bookstore is Now Hiring!

Must love books! Must love people!

  • 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.

More Details: You know us as Alaska’s Best Bookstore as voted by the readers of the Anchorage Press and the Anchorage Daily News for several years in a row, but did you know that one of the keys to Title Wave’s success is that many employees have worked here for 7-13 years?

A successful, locally-owned business for over fifteen years, Title Wave is the largest bookstore in Alaska. We are constantly on the lookout for people who, like us, will make Title Wave their career choice. If you are energetic, friendly, and fast on your feet, we invite you to join our dynamic team.

We provide an intense, two-week on-the-job training with myriad possibilities for advancement. In fact, our management team is 100% home-grown. We offer the best pay in US bookselling and generous benefits—including affordable health insurance, paid vacation, retirement, employee discount, flexible schedule, plus a friendly and rewarding work environment.

The fine print: Remember this is retail -- which means it is not a sit down job, and weekend availability is a must! Above average written and communication skills are also required (and yes, spelling counts.) We offer an above average starting wage for the book industry. Pay raises are merit & knowledge-based, so hardworking employees are rewarded quickly and well.

-- Please, no phone calls --
