A SUMMER JOB NEAR YOU!

Ready to do something more with your pandemic summer than just being stuck at home? Join the
team! We’re a group of student painters that are always striving for excellence... while having a really great time
doing it. Our compensation structures are designed to reward those who work harder, so this is the perfect
spot if you’re a student looking to make BANK this summer. Your primary role is to help produce painting
projects with the rest of the team. Apply now for more information!

Synopsis

Our goal this year is to increase our revenue 3x, from $120K annually to $360K annually, and that means
actually painting over 200 clients’ homes. How are we going to achieve this? With your help! You’ll be a part
of the front-end team responsible for bringing dreams to life by producing projects. You’ll be responsible for
painting, caulking, staining, and a bunch of other stuff, and if you have no idea what any of that means, it’s
okay; we’ll be training you! You’ll have a team backing you and helping you plan so you won’t be on your
own. This role has limited exposure to clients and we have made it as COVID-19 friendly as possible.

Requirements

Pretty much, this job is asking of you:

• 40 hours, weekly
  • From May until late August/early September
  • This is potentially flexible, as we get it; life happens
    • For example, if you know in the summer you’re going to be gone one week for the cottage, let us know we’ll work you around it.
  • The role can be tailored to support fewer or more weekly hours, case-by-case
• Must be a student or recent graduate.
• Access to a phone

  • Endurance to labour for 7-9 hour days
  • Strength to lift at least 20 pounds
• Passing the screening application

limited to:

Expectations
We know you’re a killer candidate, and which is why we’re expecting more from you!

• A passion to grow yourself
  • This job is a time waste to the wrong person. Be critical with yourself, you’re entering an atmosphere to grow, are you really looking for something as intense as this or are you just looking for a time pass that pays?
• A lot of your responsibilities are timed or need to be done in a deadline
  • Are you organized enough to pace yourself and maintain time budgets?
• Organized calendar
• Critical thinking skills, ability to provide honest and professional feedback
• Professionalism; a line between friendship and work
• Honesty, integrity, and high self-regulation
  • You will sign off on your own hours so we need a high level of honesty and the ability to monitor yourself and be your own leader
• Technological understanding of Google Suite (Docs, Sheets, Slides)
  • This can be provided if missing
• A strong willingness to learn and openness to coaching
  • Huge learning curves here, are you up to it?
• Initiative taking ability
  • Where can you improve the business? How can you provide more? We expect you to be looking for opportunities like this (i.e. maybe you would like to create a post towards some Japan-based charity and use the clout from donating to drive sales, etc.)
• Quick and professional communication with teammates
  • Flexibility to use multiple software to share and engage with teammates
• Break the overtly professional stigma!
  • We’re a group of students, why not add a bit of fun into our work? We don’t always have to be strict and professional; it’s about finding the balance between being amicable and still being able to be a star player in a business setting
• Think of it this way: if you ran a business, and you were willing to bring on a student of your caliber, what would YOU expect from them?
