Hi, Thorn Enthusiasts!

If your dream job is to work at SJS Cycles -- and you have the right qualifications -- you may be in luck, as they're recruiting to fill a sales assistant position. Here is their announcement:
Quote
NOW RECRUITING! CYCLE KNOWLEDGE IS ESSENTIAL ALONG WITH A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOUR, COMPUTER AND PEOPLE SKILLS ALSO REQUIRED
 
Sales Assistant. We are looking for a sales assistant to join our bicycle parts sales team. The successful applicant will provide our customers with an exceptional standard of service over the phone, via email and face to face.

Taking orders from customers and offering technical advice; you will be working closely with the sales and dispatch teams. You will use our PC based stock system which means a good level of IT skill will be required.

You must be a good team player and be willing to quickly learn new skills, maintaining a high level of product knowledge. You should also be flexible yet assertive and possess a good sense of humour. Previous experience within the cycling industry or a keen interest in cycling would be desirable but is not essential.

It does make me a bit concerned that their stock level system requires a good level of IT skills. Maybe their stock levels are all in machine code?

I'd ask Jags - maybe the role comes with a company bike?
