Training and Skills for Budtender Jobs
The educational requirements to become a budtender varies across states. Usually, you need to hold at least a high school diploma and meet the minimum age required to work in such a business in your state (18 to 21 years old). You’ll likely also need to provide proof that you have no severe criminal convictions.
Based on the state you’ll work in, you might also have to acquire a specific cannabis work permit/ license or complete training within the company. To obtain and be successful in a budtender job, you’ll also need certain skills such as:
- up-to-date industry knowledge
- clear communication
- be customer service oriented
- sales skills
- possess job ethics
- reliability
- computer and POS knowledge
Update Your Budtender Job Resume
When writing your resume for a budtender job, remember that this document should condense your knowledge and skills and not be an extensive list of everything you ever did. Keep it relevant to the position you are applying for and trim all the excess.
Include any industry certificates or courses you might hold, a professional summary, and make sure to include keywords in your resume. You can find the exact ones you need in the job offer itself. They will help you catch managers’ and recruiters’ eyes. If you’re unsure where to start, download our budtender resume sample and simply fill it in with your information.
Finally, prepare a cover letter to go with your resume to strengthen your application. It doesn’t need to be extremely long; 450 words max will suffice. However, it must explain why you want the job and what skills can you offer to excel in it.
Interviewing for a Budtender Job
Dispensary managers look for responsibility, excellent customer service and the ability to handle multiple types of situations in budtenders candidates. Properly prepare for your job interview to highlight how you possess such skills. Have a look at the most common retail interview questions and answers to have an idea what they might ask you. The two professions overlap in many duties, so you’ll likely receive similar questions.
Also be prepared to address behavioral questions. In a budtender position, you’ll have to manage different types of clientele and circumstances that you might be unfamiliar with. Finally, when it’s your time to ask your own questions, don’t be afraid to seek clarifications about the type of contract, the job responsibilities, working hours, or the salary.
How Much Do Budtender Jobs Pay?
The budtender is a relatively new profession for which national salary averages are not yet available since this industry is not legal in all 50 states. However, based on the education and skills needed we can estimate the average wage of budtenders to be somewhere between $28,022 and $32,909 per year. These are the average earnings of retail sales associates and sales support associates, roles very similar in their duties to dispensary shop assistants. Of course, keep in mind that your location and cost of living plays a crucial role as well.
