Who Wants to Drive the Yarn Bus?
The Yarn Bus itself
A very, very cool job opportunity exists with one of my clients. Thanks in part to my PR brilliance (big grin,) Flying Fingers Yarn Shop, in Irvington, NY (21 miles from Manhattan) is quickly becoming the largest yarn store not ONLY on the East Coast, but in the entire country.
About a year ago, I convinced them that they needed to create a super cool way for people from Manhattan to shop their wares. Six months later, the Yarn Bus was born. This is the famed Yarn Bus that has been covered in the NY Times, AP, ABC, The New Yorker, and countless other media around the globe. It's known in knitting circles, and is quickly becoming one of the coolest promotions I've ever come up with for any client.
Flying Fingers is looking for a driver for the bus - someone who likes to have fun, but is responsible, and won't try to pull an Otto from the Simpsons on the bus. There will also be some helping out in the store, as well. If you don't know how to knit, trust me, you will by the time you take your next job.
The pay is $15 per hour, which, by the way, is what school-bus drivers make - so we're competitive. Plus, you'll get all the free yarn and knitting needles and knitting classes you could ever want.
If you're interested, send me an interesting cover letter, telling me why you'd be the perfect Yarn Bus driver. Enclose your resume, as well, either as a word doc or a pdf. Oh, and one other thing - be comfortable being on TV and in the news - because you will be.
