NOT A HUMMINGBIRD:

*Someone looking for full-time work. Hummingbird is only open 4 days a week. All positions are part-time. On average our Chandlers (fancy word for “candle-maker”) work 10-20 hrs per week. *Someone who can't work weekends or through the holidays. Hummingbird is an experience-based retail business and weekends and holidays are the name of the game. *Someone who gets easily overwhelmed with multi-tasking, large crowds, or loud environments. We like our music how we like our people Turnt All the Way Up. *Someone who can't "turn it on" when you don't feel like it. Being a Hummingbird Chandler and leading our candle-making experiences is like being a Disney Character. When you visit Disney you'll never know if Belle or Gaston is having a bad day. Our guests come for a good time and we give it to them!
