Requirements for the chicken dream job:

1. You must currently keep a flock of pet chickens. We want to hire a person who is actually involved in the hobby and has experience with pet chickens. Preferably, in fact, you must be suffering from Chickenmania, or struggle with your Chicken Math every year. This is one of the things that sets us apart from other hatcheries, and makes My Pet Chicken the best place to go for people who want to get started with a small flock! Our company was founded with one goal in mind: connecting people with chickens. We can do that best when we hire people who are enthusiastic and knowledgeable about backyard chicken keeping. As a company, we genuinely want our customers to discover the joys of keeping a backyard flock, so we want to hire people who'll enjoy being an integral part of that process as much as we do.

2. You must have a speedy computer with a fast internet connection. You will be using your own computer and your own Internet connection when you work, and we don't want to keep customers waiting with a slow connection or processor.

3. You must have a quiet place to work. This can be a separate office or just a quiet space during working hours. The main thing is that, while speaking with customers on the phone, you need to be able to hear customers, and they need to be able to hear you. For chat and email, you still need a location free of distractions. The sound of roosters crowing in the background is perfectly acceptable, of course!

4. You must be able to work on these days: For our current need, prospective employees must be available to work at least 3 shifts per week, Monday through Friday, between 10 am and 6 pm EST. Additionally, all applicants should be able to commit to working on Mondays and, during the busy season, one or two Saturdays per month.

 

Other qualifications for the chicken dream job:

You must have

• Courteous phone manners
• Independent internal motivation
• Proficiency with your computer, including browsing, email, chat, office software, and other basics.
• Ability to learn order processing, inventory, and content management systems with training
• Accurate spelling and grammar, and the ability to express yourself clearly in writing
• Problem-solving skills
• Meticulous attention to detail with both note-taking and follow-through
• Pet chicken and chicken product knowledge/familiarity
• Cooperative mindset as a team player
• Compassion and enthusiasm for humane care

Bonus qualifications:

• Advanced email management (setting filters, managing reply-tos, using labels, etc.)
  
• Photography skills
• Bi-lingual

More about the My Pet Chicken dream job

Peak season at My Pet Chicken coincides with our hatching season, which is February/March through September. As a result, you can expect more scheduled hours during that time frame, and reduced hours from October through January/February. However, during the slower time of year, you'll be able to get training completed.
