Florist Jobs?
Hello, I'm interested in getting a second job to save some more money aside for my college. The idea of working at a florist shop part time occurred to me when I was thinking of the holidays coming up (epecially Valentines Day). Now the only thing is I have never worked at a florist shop before, and you need to gain experience from it by doing laboring work before hand. But!!! I'm a hard worker and am willling to work from the bottom to up, part time or full time. My question is how do I get my foot in the door without any experience behind me? When I'm going to call floral shops to see if they're hiring or not, how do I get them to listen and see if I can work with them? Especially since Valentines Day is right around the corner! TIA 
Re: Florist Jobs?
I would call and see if they're hiring people without experience. To improve your chances though, a lot of community colleges offer classes on floral design. Given your timeframe, that may not be possible. But even Michael's (craft store) frequently offer one day classes on flower arrangements. That might not hurt. I would call the florists first though. There's no point in wasting time and money if they're not hiring, require no training or require more than you can get in the time period allotted.
They may even just need delivery drivers.
