Apprenticeship as Bookseller

Do books excite you? People too? Then make both your profession. In your apprenticeship as a bookseller (m/f/d), you will dive deep into the world of books. You will deal with new releases, genres, and various topics and develop a feel for which book suits which customer. In the process, you will get to know our diverse assortment and advise our customers personally – from books to games to gift ideas. Together with your team, you ensure that every visit to Thalia becomes a special experience.

Advise customers: You find the right books, games, gift ideas, and more – and inspire with your personal advice. Become a favorite bookseller: You discover new titles, write your own reviews, and share your personal reading recommendations. Shape our assortments: You present our products creatively and create an atmosphere that invites browsing and discovery. Create special experiences: You support events such as readings and ensure unforgettable moments with your team. Shape the book trade: You gain insights into sales, checkout, goods receipt, and processes behind the scenes.

You have at least a secondary school diploma (Mittlere Reife) or are about to graduate. You have good to very good German language skills and communicate confidently in German, both orally and in writing. This is needed for advising our customers and for vocational school. You enjoy approaching people and take pleasure in advising them personally. You love books and enjoy digital offerings and diverse thematic worlds.
