Part-Time Retail Associate (Fall 2024) Apply Now

UPDATE: Applications are CLOSED

We have received 102 applications and are currently going through them and interviewing. Due to the volume (and this career page app having no export option) we will not be able to contact every applicant with their application status as we proceed. If you have not been contacted by 9/8/2024, we will most likely not be proceeding with your application. :(

Once we hire, we will try to make an announcement publicly via social media. We will try to contact all applicants then, if we can find the time.

Thank you for your interest and your patience.

-Hazzel, Forager Vintage

Update 2:

We have decided on a candidate to hire, and a backup candidate as well. We will try to contact everyone via email over the next few days with the news, but if you're reading this you probably know if you were the chosen one or not :(

(it's going to take time to send official rejection letters because our job application software is weird, sorry!)

Thank you for your time and applications, we really appreciate the huge turnout! Good luck on your job search!
