Are you right for Fleet Feet Sports - Roanoke? Is Fleet Feet Sports - Roanoke right for you?
Test yourself with these questions:
Do you have a sales sense? Our guests appreciate learning about our products. . . from shoe technology to the importance of carrying a hydration pack. You should be comfortable (even passionate and excited!) about suggesting and explaining items that people will benefit from and enjoy.
Are you good at switching gears? When guest traffic slows, you will find yourself busy with stocking, cleaning and more. But when somebody walks in the door, your focus has to switch 100% to friendly guest service, even if you are behind in your other tasks.
Can you stay calm and friendly under pressure? Imagine providing superior customer care to 2 guests at the same time (with your other team members doing the same) while 5 more guests are waiting. They all want the same level of attention and care, they want it in a timely fashion and they want you to be friendly and appreciative. Things can get very busy here and there is always other work to be done. Expect a fast pace for hours on end.
Are you a team player? Fleet Feet Sports is like a family and we work closely with each other, sometimes under stress or with other things on your mind. And no matter what's going on in your week, your team members will be counting on you to be here 100% when your shift starts. We all depend on each other and support each other. You need to be respectful and patient, and you also need to pull your own weight when it comes to customers and other work that has to get done.
Are you willing to learn new things? People know us as the FIT experts. "FIT" does not just refer to shoes but all of our products and our service. You will be properly trained but it will be up to you to make the effort to completely learn about all of our products so that you can deliver the high level of service we require and our guests have come to expect. We will certainly help you but it is up to your to ask questions and take the time to learn.
Do you pay attention to the little things? It's the thoughtful little touches that make a "specialty" store so special, like remembering a frequent guests' name or what type of shoe they run in. Going an extra mile for a guest by staying open late or rush shipping them a pair of socks before a big race is what sets us apart. Fun little extras go a long way and make your job worth the effort.
Are you available on weekends? In this business, Saturdays are a key time and our busiest day of the week. Full-time employees have alternating schedules to have one Saturday off every other month and one Monday off every other month. Since we are closed on Sundays, this allows for a two and a half day weekend once a month and all of the other weeks one and a half days off during the week.

No prior experience is necessary; you just have to like dealing with a lot of different people and like to run or walk.
