New Beer Friday, Help Wanted Edition (August 9)


Help your fellow man select a good bottle of suds. Join the staff at Siciliano's.

Preamble by Steve Siciliano


It was Confucius who said that when you choose a job you love you will never have to work a day in your life. I have a feeling that the members of Team Siciliano would beg to differ with the great sage on this one.


I can say with certainty that our employees love helping customers with craft beer, fine wine and liquor, beer- and wine-making supplies, cheese-making supplies, coffee, tea, hand-rolled cigars and every other lifestyle-enhancing product that we sell here at the store. I also know that there are many times when they are working their tails off.


During an average week, the members of our staff price and stock hundreds of cases of beer, wine and liquor. They unload skids of inventory and unpack dozens of boxes. They keep the shelves full, the coolers stocked and the store looking presentable. That’s a lot of hard work. But they are passionate about selling the things we offer here at Siciliano's and that is what makes the job so enjoyable.


We are now looking to add a part-time person to our sales team who is equally passionate. We are looking for someone who loves craft beer and fine wine. A knowledge of beer- and winemaking would certainly be a plus.


If you would like to join the sales staff of one of the area’s premier specialty stores, and if you wouldn’t mind working hard at a job you can love, I urge you to drop a resume off at the store or contact me at steve@sicilianosmkt.com. No phone calls please.
