WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN THIS ROLE
Strong hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills A genuine eye for detail — you notice when something looks slightly off Patience with repetitive, precision-focused tasks Pride in producing a polished, ready-for-retail final product
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
Extended periods of standing at a workstation Light lifting (typically under 20lbs) Comfortable working in a candy production environment
QUALIFICATIONS
Entry level — no experience required Prior experience in retail merchandising, gift wrapping, floral arrangement, craft work, or similar detail-oriented hands-on work is a plus (though not required)
