Fun Temporary Job! Inbound At Home - Watch Video!

Teleflora is currently hiring Temporary help for Mother's Day.  These positions are only for the holiday they are hiring for.  In rare cases the company will keep workers on for the next holiday.  There is no guarantee that anyone will be kept on after the holiday (Mother's Day in this case).  Seems like later in the year, workers will get hired on and more will be asked to stay for the big Valentines Day holiday.

Selling flowers is a lot of fun.  I worked a temporary job with another flower company and I really enjoyed it.

Teleflora included a YouTube video at the end of the job posting.  I love it when employers add little extras and jazz up their job listings!

After applying, if you are accepted for the next step, you will receive an assessment test by email.  There is also a background check for this job since you will be dealing with payments.
