Description

I’m looking for one or two careful, detail-oriented people to help finish packing an apartment near downtown Palo Alto/Caltrain on Monday, July 27 and/or Tuesday, July 28. College students and recent graduates are welcome, but student status is not required.
Pay: $25–$30 per hour, depending on experience
Minimum: 3 paid hours per day
working hours flexible during: 10am - 6pm Monday or Tuesday or both.
Possible additional hours if mutually agreed
Work includes:

  1. Packing clothing, linens, books and ordinary household items
  2. Keeping related items together rather than mixing unrelated categories
  3. Clearly and accurately labeling boxes
  4. Assembling boxes and packing materials
  5. Light organizing and separating donation/disposal items
  6. Helping prepare the apartment for a professional moving crew

This is not a heavy-moving job. Professional movers will handle furniture, TVs, monitors and container loading. You will not handle valuables, hazardous materials or unusually heavy items.

The most important qualities are:

  1. Reliability and punctuality
  2. Careful organization
  3. Ability to follow written and verbal instructions
  4. Willingness to ask questions rather than guess
  5. Respect for personal belongings
  6. Prior packing, moving, household-organizing or inventory experience is helpful.

Please reply with:

  1. Your availability Monday and Tuesday, including possible start and end times
  2. Any relevant experience
  3. Whether you can commit to the full scheduled period
  4. Your phone number
  5. One reference, if available, or link to your organizing reviews on
  6. One or two sentences explaining how you would sort and subdivide categories when packing

Thank you, Simon and Susan
