There are a variety of schedules available. We're pretty flexible, but we still can't do the splits. If you're not interested, please tell at least six friends, one ex-girl/boyfriend, and two enemies.

Sales Associates, All Shop Locations

We're seeking sales associates for all shop locations. This job involves sales, customer service and humans. Or Homo Sapiens and stuff if you prefer to be technical. The technical part of that sentence was the word "stuff."

Moosejaw sales associates have an enthusiastic, fun and positive attitude while assisting customers with sales and product information. A good sense of humor, creative mindset and passion for customer service are needed. Like an I-love-you-so-much-I-want-to-have-a-million-babies-with-you passion for customer service.

How to Apply:
Apply in person at the shop of your choice or email your resume/application to jobs@moosejaw.com. Don't forget to include which shop you wanna work at and your best self-portrait sketch using only old-school pencil. This description has a lot more hyphens than normal. JK. About the sketch thing. Not the hyphen thing.

Moosejaw Models Wanted

We're looking for a few female models, age 18-25, to pose gracefully in the coolest products we carry. Models will be used for in-house photo shoots at our headquarters located in Madison Heights, Michigan. This will be great exposure (and I don't mean indecent by any means) for up-and-coming models as they'll appear in our print, catalog and online material.

• Modeling experience is preferred.
• Must be 18 years of age or older. No ifs, ands or buts.
• Michigan applicants only. Although we love the rest of the country, we're quite partial to Michigan. Oh yeah, and Moosejaw will not be paying for expenses to travel to our headquarters. So it'd probably save you a lot of money in gas if you live in state.

How to Apply:
Email your resume or work history, along with no more than 3 pictures, to models@moosejaw.com. We're very serious about the 3-picture limit, so if you send 4 we'll think you're not great about following directions. Sorry to be so mean.

Please use job code MOD so we know what you're applying for. MOD probably stands for modernization of dinnertime. Or maybe it's model.
