Rejoindre
Shakespeare and Company est toujours heureuse d’intégrer de nouveaux libraires expérimentés au sein de son équipe, travaillant à la fois dans la librairie et à la caisse, à des postes en contact direct avec les clients.
Notre librairie est visitée par des lecteurs du monde entier et notre objectif est de leur offrir l’expérience la plus agréable qui soit au sein de notre univers. Être enthousiaste à l'idée de partager vos livres préférés est indispensable, et aimer rencontrer de nombreuses nouvelles personnes - être confronté(e) à des foules - de manière calme et amicale est également essentiel. La connaissance du français et de l'anglais parlés est un prérequis, tout comme une expérience antérieure dans la vente de livres, la ponctualité, un bon sens du détail et la capacité de travailler en équipe et sous pression.
