Warehouse Assistant

Wild Smile Events is a Kootenay based event planning, design, coordination and rental company that seeks to create authentic events for spirited clients that cultivate connection and memorable experiences. We specialize in logistically challenging private estate and destination weddings but you will come to learn that no event is off limits. We like to keep things fresh and interesting! We truly believe that events are magic and can leave a lasting impression on both clients and guests no matter what the occasion, big or small. We value connection, as mentioned, but also deep love, adventure, staying wild (authentic) and giving back. We LOVE what we do, but more importantly, we love our client’s love the most, and do what we can to ensure that it is front and center. We full-heartedly believe in the art of celebration. . . so get ready, you're about to apply for a Work Party!

If this culture sounds like your jam, we are off to a fabulous start. . . but . . . here is the kicker. We are looking for individuals who jive with the above but who are also ready and excited to help us grow our rental warehouse operations! Though our Warehouse Assistants typically work in house, we are also working extra hard to ensure our clients' needs are taken care of. We believe in high-quality, ready to photograph rental services so you need to expect to get dirt on your hands (and your knees, and your shirt and seriously just everywhere) and sweat (A LOT!) to make the dream come alive.

I might as well weed out those who aren’t the right fit now, so that you can stop wasting your time reading this application. So truth is, this job is not right for you if:

• You truly hate people - Don't get me wrong there will be days but deep down you have to love the flaws of the human race and want to connect with each and every client
• You get overwhelmed easily or can not handle unexpected challenges and these types of situations cause you to shut-down or panic
• You need someone to hold your hand. . . our team needs to be able to take initiative and be trusted to complete their tasks to meet client standards
• You can never be on time and you find yourself calling in sick at the last minute a lot
• You expect the job to be glamorous. . . Warehouse Assistants are in charge of getting the rentals organized and ready and this means a lot of sweat!
• You can't take constructive criticism or work reviews in a positive way and do not like to learn and grow daily
• You laugh at the suckers who work during the summer while you sip cocktails on the beach
• You can't move FAST. Like really fast. If you are a “take your time” type this job is not for you. You also need to be able to lift heavy items and juggle tasks.

If you read the above and realized that this job doesn’t sound worth it, believe me I understand and it is totally okay. Thank you for taking the time to check in and see if it may be the correct fit. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Still reading? That is awesome! So here is a few more points, this job may be for you if:

• You love on the spot challenges and can think outside the box to come up with solutions. You love that every day at work will be different and unexpected surprises are bound to pop up!
• You know what hard work looks like and can easily carry 50 pounds
• You think Summer vacations are overrated and you aren't a tad bit jealous of your friends out soaking up the sunny rays while you work
• You want to improve the experience for clients of Wild Smile Events and uplevel the company.
