Fall 2023:
We have a (hopefully!) new permanent member that we just added to our team!
Welcome Bryce aboard next time you call or stop in =)
Also, Aiden is back in town so you may also see him around again
If you want to make sure we have your resume on file, you can apply online by clicking above, thru email
or by dropping off a hardcopy/printed resume with references
we will also have an application form we will
want you to fill out by hand.
Our thoughts are that this is a Part-Time position, however, hours might end up needing to be full-time if work load increases (but may need to decrease if work load drops again*)
We are looking for someone to be a part of our team, where we all wear many hats and morph between different job duties.
The primary work this Part-Time person will do is:
Front Counter, Production, Deliveries, File Processing
The following will be important:
•Friendly with customers
•Dependable
•Able to work both independently (be a self-starter)
and as part of a team (under direction from others)
•High school degree required
•Must be USA citizen
•Drivers license with a good driving record
•Clear manner of speech and neat handwriting will be important
•Must be comfortable with computers
•Experience in Word, Publisher, Excel, Acrobat and networked printers very helpful (we can train)
•Detail minded and detailed record keeping critical
•Strong phone contact handling skills and active listening will be important
•Ability to multi-task, prioritize, and manage time effectively
•Upbeat personality (even when busy and under stress)
•Physical ability to carry 50lb boxes of paper up and down long flight of stairs and out on deliveries
A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DUTIES IS LINKED HERE
Please apply soon.
Work hours are Mon - Fri, 10am-3pm.
We are hoping for a permanent new staff member but will consider temps (like our current Tech student who has been awesome).
Email questions, introduction, Resume and References to B.J. at artist@906print.com or call 906-482-3903 and talk to B.J. or Tom, you are also welcome to stop by Mon-Fri, 9-5.
*An outgoing and confident individual who can quickly learn all about our shop could help bring in work by visiting clients and potential customers just to see if they have any work we could assist them with (as well as be able to suggest new things we could do for them) - this would in turn help keep this employee's hours up.

SOME FYI ON WHY WE HAVE THIS OPEN POSITION:
Prior to covid we had 4 full-time folks on staff, and were looking to hire 1 or 2 new individuals (we were really that busy!), however, when covid hit we were forced to lay off both of our employees when our governor shut down the state. Thankfully it wasn't long before we were able to hire back a long time production warrior. We hesitated hiring back the full-time front counter person because we didn't feel we could guarantee him full-time hours, even tho we really needed someone like him, but just part-time.
As with most businesses out there, things were a wee bit bumpy for our business during 2020 and 2021, mostly because of how covid has affected some our customers (many of whom are restaurants, event related and tourist related businesses), which also made us wary about hiring/increasing our expenses. But, as our customers recovered and got busier we did too.
We are very thankful to have remained in operation and to be striving and thriving (when so many businesses, including many printing companies, did not fair so well). Our workload has been steadily increasing, and the upward trajectory does seem to be a trend we can rely on. Because the 3 of us are so highly experienced we have been managing to do the jobs of 5-6 people at times ~ but we can't keep up that pace forever, so help is very much needed.
When there is less then 4 of us on staff, we end up consistently turning work away because we just don't have the manpower to take care of everyone that calls/comes through our doors (especially when so many orders tend to be last-minute rush orders that we don't have the option to schedule in with our other work) ~ the last thing we ever want to do is turn potential customers away!! We are here to service the community, not chase them away! Therefore, we are hoping to find someone who is eager to work, could train into the position and become a solid and reliable part of our team.
A SIDE NOTE, INCASE COVID SHOULD RETURN IN FORCE AGAIN:
In the event that we see another worrisome outbreak of covid (or another highly transmissible virus) anyone we hire will have to be agreeable to wearing a mask while in the building, as Bj has damaged lungs, breathing issues, and autoimmune diseases, Tom has cancer and is on chemo, and is elderly, so we are both on the "very high risk" list. We also have many very high risk customers as well that we will need to protect. Please be aware: we have lost both customers and friends to covid, and many of our friends and customers have lost loved ones to this virus too, we know people who "recovered" but now have long-hauler issues ~ reasons why we really do take this seriously. We pray that everyone can "Live Long and Prosper" and will do our part to perpetuate that.
