Guidance from job tag (Japanese)
入職にあたって、特に学歴や資格は必要とされないが、花や鉢の種類が多いため、基礎的な植物学の知識をベースに手入れや処理の方法を覚える必要がある。
　入職経路については、新規開業の店や大型店では、ハローワーク、求人広告や学校の紹介が重視され、求人専門誌をはじめ、フラワーアレンジメントの関係誌、業界新聞なども利用される。
　入職条件ではないが、生け花の免許、フラワーアレンジメントの認定資格や厚生労働省の定める技能検定の「フラワー装飾技能士」などの資格を持っていると、採用時に考慮されることもある。入職後にこうした資格を取るように勉強する姿勢が大切といえる。また、花や緑に対する興味と専門知識、好感の持てる接客態度、色彩やデザインに関するセンスも必要となる。さらに、配達、仕入れなど、ある程度の体力も必要となる。
　技術や能力が上がれば独立して店を開業することもできる。
