Florists there with any advice?
I graduated from college in August, and I'm tired U.S. companies. I thought for a moment that I like working in a flower shop, but I'm not sure how to start working with a florist. By this I mean learning to be oneself not only the sound of the flowers. My grades are not aligned at all, but … (I had a roommate whose mother worked in a flower shop and I'm not completely naive about the demands of the season of marriages and their wives, or the tenacity needed to finger through countless Roses) – Hints and Tips general information on how to approach a career change so drastically?
Before going to any flower shop for a job, ask your self some questions. Is you good stress situation, can you work long hours without pay, are you willing to work all holidays and what they really expect their training, if you do not know what to expect, then what – If you have goals and dreams for 5 years on the road. Flower Company is one of the most difficult in order come at the last minute and everything should be done last minute. His is a perishable product and the shop where the work is likely to turn on its overall holdings every two or 3 days. You will work in preparation for Friday night / finish for the Saturday wedding, you can work on Saturday night to prep / finish Sunday in marriage. On a normal Friday, work 9-9 and Saturday 8-7. If the marriage (s) in a holiday florist, day by day, ie the parent or Valentine's Day, will have to work until 1 am, the owners will work even later. You are on your feet all day busy in the stores, no chairs, reduce the amount of work you can do and how fast you can. Time is money. You will work on Mother's Day, Thanksgiving Day, Valentine's Day, Easter, and some florist working on Christmas Day. Do not ask for days off during those weeks, as only they will fire you and hire cars to the next person going to work. A normal work week for employees is 40 hours, but the period of the years 50-60 hours to arrive. Owner Hours Work 60-70. There are no benefits. Sorry, I do not want to scare you, it's just the way it is. Before leaving for his first play of flowers, the owners want to go shopping high volume are a florist and not on a daily basis. So get the best training. Most of the best flower shops are family businesses, family train and treat you like family, especially after having been good, but then they expect to come or stay when someone calls, like family. I would be out of very large or the florist who owns a flower shop absent, managers are not trained well. I prefer candidates who apply to my store to look presentable, but I do not think wearing dirty, soiled. No long nails can not attach balloons with long nails. Be honest, tell him you want to be a florist, and their willingness to cooperate when necessary, but it takes training. Do not bring a summary, there is another job as a florist, you are wasting your time reading it, and may be used against you if you had many jobs. Florists are looking for reliability, which show all the time, on time and going to work for them forever. Training if you went to school to become a florist is approximately $ 2,000. I think it takes 3 years of working at a florist before anything. Some florists will train in exchange for not paying you. I always felt it was the wrong message. No work without pay, you must pay something, even if only $ 7.8 per hour. There backward to be a florist? Yes, people share with you this special moment in his life, births, birthdays, anniversaries loss and pain. Regular customers and ask by name. You will be part of a large family in a sense. Every day is different and more than happy moments.
