What kind of credentials do you need to work in a florist's shop?
I've heard you need a degree to be a florist, but I just want to work in one, helping with sales or displays. I can't find any decent information on the subject, and was wondering if anyone could supply me with their own knowledge. I don't want to call the shop until I have some idea of what to expect. Could you help?
Hi! A few years ago, when I was an undergrad, I came home one summer to find that a florist nearby posted a "help wanted" sign for general help. I ended up getting the job because you don't need any experience to work at a flower shop unless you want to be a floral designer. Since most of the work deals with cleaning flowers, making bouquets, and helping customers think up ideas for their arrangement, it's one of those jobs that you learn by doing. All you need is a willingness to learn, confidence, good customer service skills (especially good phone skills), and a tolerance for being bossed around a little bit - the designers are really only there to design, and they will expect you to do all the grunt work. What's great though, is that when designers aren't busy, they'll teach you a thing or two about making arrangements. The flower shop was definitly the most fun job I have ever had.
Best of luck to you. There are tons of flower shops, so hit up all of them and see if they are hiring. Some good times to apply are in the very early spring, before Mother's Day (that's when shops need all the help they can get) or in the fall, before the holidays. The spring is the most profitable time for a flower shop, and the late summer is the least - so your chances of getting a job are less now than if you applied in the spring. Just go in there and tell them what you want to do, like when you apply for any other job. You really don't need any special know-how to do this job well, and they'll be more interested in your personality and friendliness rather than your experience, or lack thereof.
