Scentsational Florals | Floral Designer

Experienced floral designer needed for a very busy "events-only" design studio located in Baltimore County, Overlea area. We are hoping for full time help, but could accept part-time as well. The best part about this job is that you can set your own hours. The worst part about this job is, we do mainly weddings, and from April thru mid-November, we have a lot of weekend delivery and set-up of the wedding flowers that you designed that week. So, lots of weekend work when the weather is nice. Set up is sometimes physically taxing work if there are structures that need floral applications. Ideal candidate has 3+ years floral design experience, has the physical ability to install arch and chuppah flowers on a ladder, has an SUV or minivan that can be used for delivery, can carry a heavy bucket of flowers, and can communicate clearly via email. Most of our leads come to us online, and you will have to answer the customer and create a design quote on our form, which is just a simple spreadsheet. So, basic computer skills are necessary. You need to have good communication skills and a good attitude about work. We want everyone who designs with us to be thrilled with the job! Amother good thing about this job is the pay. You work on a commission basis, and our part-timers generally make 35-40K per year. Our full-timers generally make $70-80 per year, a few of us have hit in the $90K-103K range, if you are willing to work hard! In our busy season, it can sometimes be 60 hours per week, but in the slow times, (Dec-mid-March) it can be as little as 4-5 hours per week. There is no salary, it is all commission but you can take a draw on your commissions to get some of it up front. There is never any problem booking weddings, we are always swamped. Please respond if you are motivated by making more income than usual for floral design, and if you do not mind giving up an awful lot of Saturdays, and sometimes Fridays & Sunday, to do the installs. If you choose part-time work you can dictate which weekends you are available, and if you want full-time, we recommend choosing 3 weeks during the busy season for vacation time, to give yourself a break. You will have tons of time for vacation in Dec. thru March.
