(unless you want to change fields!)

Instructions to apply:
STEP 1:
EMAIL your contact info, resume with relevant work history and experience, and a cover letter if you like to

GardenUpLandscape@yahoo.com.

Make sure to highlight experience that's relevant - customer service is great, but beyond that retail and cashiering isn't really useful here. Tell me why you'll make a good gardener and why you'll fit this position! Also include a picture of your favorite plant, its name, and what you like about it.

STEP 2:
CALL to confirm that it was received.
Monday - Friday, 9-5
Amy: (509) 964 4746

If I do not answer, please leave a message. When leaving a message, please speak clearly and repeat your call back number twice. (If for some reason voicemail isn't working, send another email to say that you attempted to call and what happened.)

PLEASE NOTE:
The first requirement of this job is the ability to follow instructions. If you do not follow the two step instructions for applying then you demonstrate that you do not meet these criteria and you will not be considered for the position.
