House of Books, in Kent, CT, is hiring an Assistant Manager to help run bookstore operations in a town with a literary, arts-oriented, and engaged population.

Okay.

Here is where I would ordinarily write out a long list of desired qualifications...but look, why bother?

The number 1 thing I'm looking for is someone with some moxie. What do you want your job to be? Do you want to get experience with buying, or with events / marketing? Do you want to rule over the back room like blood-thirsty emperor? Let's talk. The right candidate can have a dramatic impact on what their own job will be.
