JackRabbit Sports is one of NYC's premier shops for runners, swimmers, cyclists and triathletes. We're ranked as the top running store in NYC
in 2011 by Competitor Magazine, one of the TOP FIVE running stores in the COUNTRY by Runner's World, and have been ranked as one of
the top 50 stores in the country in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. We received the honor of Best of New York in 2006, received a fantastic
review in the New York Times in April of 2007, and a rating of Excellent from Zagats in 2007 & 8, and again in 2009 & 10.
Everyone who works at JackRabbit regularly runs at least 10 miles a week -- if you're not a runner you probably won't be a good match for us.
Ideally you also swim, cycle, go to the gym, do yoga, pilates, kickboxing, or other sports to stay active. We are primarily looking for
college graduates.
We're not looking for gearheads. We need people who are great with people, and who can establish such a strong relationship with our
customers that you become their consultant, the expert they trust for advice and support. We expect our staff to be mature, confident, and
comfortable guiding a customer through the process of selecting the right gear.
Because we expect more from our staff, we give you more -- a good salary, a great work environment, discounts on gear, and a place where you
enjoy coming to work. Our staff do NOT work on commission, but everyone shares in the success of the store with our bonus program.
We're looking for people who can work at least 15 hours per week, and everyone on our staff works at least one weekend day. We are hiring for
Union Sq, Park Slope, Upper West, and Upper East Side stores this Spring. We have a regular weekly schedule, so you must be available to work
the same shifts every week.
We know that sounds like a lot to ask, but our customers expect us to be the best in the business. If you want to work with the best, then we
want you on our team. Please respond to this ad via email. Include your resume but more important please include a letter detailing your
background and why you think you'd be a great person to work at JackRabbit. Convince us you'd be a great addition to the team -- if you're
not convinced that we should hire you, we're not going to be convinced either.
