A day in the life of a Grab Bag Assembler
Each day, the stores will send to our corporate office boxes of odd-ball miscellaneous items that could be sold if only someone could organize and package them. That’s where you come in! You get to go through the boxes and check items for quality. Items that meet our standards are then sorted, packaged, priced and boxed to go back to our stores for sale.
You may also help with training volunteers or others who may be assisting with assembling grab bags.
While Goodwill will provide all the training you might need for this position, we do require someone that can be depended upon to work their schedule, be able to lift, push and/or pull up to 20 pounds occasionally to move objects, and be able to use basic tools such as box cutters, tape guns, hole punchers and stapler/staple removers.
We anticipate that this position will be scheduled @ 12 hours per week, and can be somewhat flexible (within corporate office hours).
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONSGoodwill and your co-workers depend on you to be at work as scheduled.
