JSM Living:
We are currently hiring for part-time Furniture/Maintenance Helpers to join our team and this would be an excellent opportunity for recent graduates or current students looking for Summer and Fall employment.
 
I would describe the Furniture/Maintenance Helper position as laborious because it requires lifting and moving heavy furniture, appliances, etc., but this is an ideal job for someone who enjoys being active, who is looking for a challenge, and who wants a flexible schedule. Typically, we are able to support as many hours as an individual would like to work, especially over the summer months. If there’s a group of students or a pair of friends that are interested in applying, we encourage them to do so because we are looking to fill multiple openings for this role.
