Bagel Prep Worker / Sales Associate
mclean bagelsFairfax (VA)
About the role
The business, McLean Bagels, has staff openings at two of the farmers markets that we server, the Fresh Farm Arlington market on Courthouse Road and the Fresh Fresh Mosaic market at Merrifield, on Saturdays and Sundays, respectively. Work activities include tent and equipment setup before a market starts, equipment breakdown afterwards, toasting and topping bagels for takeaway orders, and taking and processing customer orders. During a market, one can only prep or take orders at any given time, and we try to rotate people to different positions of they so desire. Training is provided for all work. The business started in February, 2025 and has become popular and grown quickly based on the popularity of its long-fermented sourdough bagels. The longer process and the use of a starter in lieu of commercial yeast develop richer, more complex flavors that customers immediately recognize when trying a free sample.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
