FUTURE POSITIONS AT THE BOOKSHOP

We accept resumes on a continuous basis, as positions do open up from time to time. Please note that, due to the large number of resumes we receive, we will respond only at the time that a position becomes available and if you are being considered.​

Before applying, please note the following qualifications:
• You are already settled in Paris with EU working papers. (We don't interview overseas candidates, offer a relocation fee, or sponsor visa requests.)
• You speak both English and French.

• You are available to work in the bookshop for at least one or two years.
• You recognize that punctuality is essential on a shop floor, as customers and colleagues depend on you, and that working in a bookstore often requires physical work, such as assisting with book deliveries and carting boxes.

• The application may be either pasted into the body of the email or attached as a Text, RTF, or Word document. (No other type of documents will be considered.)
