Selling flowers is a lot of fun. I worked a temporary job with another flower company and I really enjoyed it.
Teleflora included a YouTube video at the end of the job posting. I love it when employers add little extras and jazz up their job listings!
After applying, if you are accepted for the next step, you will receive an assessment test by email. There is also a background check for this job since you will be dealing with payments.

I applied for this job and received 98% on the test and a rating of "very strong knowledge" after completing Teleflora's 44 questions in just under 15 minutes with no errors. The only reason I did not get 100% is that Teleflora's test has an incorrect answer built into in it. My answer was correct. Regardless, I received an email saying I was too slow and not qualified. Very disappointed.
