Would you like an exciting career in retail management? Can you upsell a 13-month Xbox Live Gold subscription on a $US100 wireless adapter? Can you answer “What’s a Zune?” without using the word “iPod”?

If so, Microsoft has a job for you. As previously reported, the first stores in Microsoft’s grand plan to battle Apple on its mall-space turf will likely open this fall. Earlier this week (Monday, to be exact) the company posted a listing for a store manager – but not location specific, so we don’t know where the first store will be.

You can read the full requisition here. If you’re interested, know that you will be required to “protect company assets including people, merchandise, facilities and money.” Sounds like they’re looking for Dwight Schrute.
