My point had nothing to do with the cost of housing in rural MB. If the cost of your current mortgage and bills is more than the job pays it makes it hard to buy food. Not to mention its wastes everyone's time to go through the process and then at the end find out you can not make it work. In either case it is irrelevant as they do not want the wage posted if any one is interested they can contact pat.

It's a retail/sales position, I thought it was a given that it's not an 80k/year gig. To get the job, you'll have to move to Virden or close enough by to commute. The cost of living is low out there (compared to Ottawa or Toronto), so your current mortgage/other bills aren't relevant as you'll have to adopt a lifestyle change regardless. Money isn't everything, and if you do what you love, you never work a day in your life.
 
Cost of living is HIGHER out here! Groceries are expensive, entertainment is more expensive, and everything is further so you spend more in fuel. Alcohol and cigarettes are a lot more expensive as well.

If you are what is considered "internet cool"... I'm not interested. I'm content just being "world-wide-web-lukewarm" instead...

John! SAVE YOURself! Move your business to the sunny Okanagan! No mousquitos or black flies. Short mild winters. Lots of water and it stays in the creeks, rivers and lakes? Hire some young guys that want to grow your business and will be happy in their work!!! Leave those poor, starving, old , happy employees that you have now in Manitoba! As they won't be able to afford to live here anyways!! If yours is a family business they will all want to move here!! Just one visit will do it.!!
 
Why must you guys hire when I can't relocate yet (due to retirement)? :)


Only twenty five more years to go!!! :dancingbanana:


Your okanagan is expecting forty degree sunshine Monday. Only a sick person would enjoy that. :p
 
A dream job working in a gun store. You get to talk guns all day and droll over the new arrivals plus if they take trade ins you get to see lots of old guns that walk in off the street. The gun store in town here has this young french fellow running it and he has to be one of the most down to earth people I know. And he dosn't seem to mind showing you any gun on the rack. Course I have bought a couple of them in the past also.
 
If you were in Northern Ontario I would show you what a motivated and hard working employee can do, I can disassemble and clean any firearm conceived by man and sell ice to the Inuit.

If you're really motivated apply and speak to them about the willingness to relocate. Ability to disassemble and clean firearms is something they can teach you. The will and discipline to know to pull everything from the wall when sweeping and return it to its proper place is not ((ie. doing things 110%)).

They'd already made a comment about willing to talk to those who'd be willing to show dedication. If it's the job for you, then you should be able to find a place to give it a try.




I'm a little disappointed that the discussion here dropped so fast with all this talk of money. Any potential employee not inquiring to base starting salary in a SALES position would make a poor salesman. I'm sure the Wolverines would never make a deal for a lot of firearms because "Money isn't everything". They got the business to make sure runs on its expenses and need/want it to flourish. Does that mean every deal they go for is about making double the money back? Probably not, but I'd be surprised stone dead if they didn't check the numbers first before jumping into it ;).



I'd love to apply, but all the ammo and guns Wolverine could EVER move in their life time wouldn't protect me from the wrath of the misses... but that doesn't mean I've not been thinking about it ;).
 
I have to admit that I'm curious about the starting wage, and yes... it would be cool to work with (and shoot) all kinds of guns all day every day, but I'd never apply. I'm one of those rare, lucky people that has a career I absolutely love (getting up in the morning is no problem), and with a six-figure salary, I can get all the guns I like.

I wish Wolverine luck in finding the right person. I hope it works out, so far everyone I've ever dealt with there has been pleasant and completely professional.
 
I grew up fishing.... and got good at it...... real good hehehe
I turned 30 and my life changed in a bad workplace accident.
I was disabled big time and after a bunch of years on disability I was wanting to work at something.
one of BC's premier fishing tackle shops was hiring entry level sales staff, their add, very similar to wolverines, but minus the firearms.
I "wanted" that job and I didn't really care about the wage and it was crappy LOL at first.....
I stayed for close to 5 years and loved my job and all the benefits that came with it. I built my name doing custom flies, custom fishing rods, guiding and instructing river, lake and salmon fishing...... I can still drop my name in most fishing circles in BC and get a warm welcome from the reputation I built and friends I made.

I know the kind of guy that it takes to jump all over a job offer like this one wolverine has posted and you really have to want it to be satisfied.
leaving that fishing tackle store was in hindsight, probably the dumbest thing I've done in the past 15 years LOL because I loved that job and the family environment that exhisted between owners and staff.
 
You have to be passionate about a career to be good at it. And you have to be happy to be good also. The sales people are the front line of your business. Recently we had a Wholesale Sports open. Now we have two large stores to compare customer service? Grouse River and Wholesale Sports. Grouse River is by far the best store for customer service!!! I visit Wholesale Sports once a week and they do have some good employees but I find that most should not be in retail!!!!! The differance between privatly owned and a large chain!!!
