We are currently hiring for FULL-TIME, permanent, booksellers *ONLY*. Must work evenings & weekends. There are *NO* part-time positions available at this time. There are *NO* seasonal positions available at this time.

You know us as Alaska's Best Bookstore as voted by the readers of the Anchorage Press and the Anchorage Daily News for several years in a row, but did you know that one of the keys to Title Wave's success is that many employees have worked here for 5-15 years?

Booksellers are the "happy-helpy" faces of Title Wave Books, the friendly folks you see out and about on the sales floor and at the counters.

Please visit our job page for more details & to fill out an application.

Title Wave is:

* a locally-owned business for over thirty years

* the largest independent bookstore in Alaska

* a great place to work

We offer:

You must be available to work weekends and evening shifts. Above average written and communication skills are required (and yes, spelling counts.)

Pay raises are merit & knowledge-based, so hard-working employees are rewarded quickly and well.
