Apprenticeship Bookseller

Do books excite you? People too? Then make both your profession. In your apprenticeship as a bookseller (m/f/d) you dive deep into the world of books. You deal with new releases, genres and various topics and develop a feel for which book suits which customer. In the process you get to know our diverse range 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 much more – and inspire with your personal advice. Become a favourite bookseller: you discover new titles, write your own reviews and share your personal reading recommendations. Shape our ranges: 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 the processes behind the scenes.

You have at least an intermediate school leaving certificate (Mittlere Reife) or are about to complete it. You have good to very good German language skills and communicate confidently in German, both orally and in writing. You need this for advising our customers and for vocational school lessons. You like approaching people and enjoy advising them personally. You love books and enjoy digital offerings and diverse thematic worlds.
