Estate Sale Set Up Crew and Sales Crew Needed - The Rusty Trunk LLC

They need fast, efficient people who can focus and handle physical work.

This company is known for our lovely sale set-ups; our sales look almost like retail stores with everything arranged neatly on shelves and tables and grouped by category - we don't just pile things on the furniture. But this does not happen by magic. Set-ups involve a lot of hard work lifting, carrying, unpacking dusty boxes (along with the associated mouse nests and dead spiders), and general labor. It can also be like Christmas every day as we open each box and (hopefully) find lots of treasures!

Driver's License and Transportation is required as job sites are located throught the Portland Metro Area.  Find more info and apply via Craigslist.
