The legendary Hard To Find Quality Secondhand Bookshop is looking for a new Manager in Dunedin. 

This is a longterm career position. The successful candidate should be reliable, personable, presentable, honest, confidant, energetic, committed (probably should be), loyal, dedicated, knowledgable (in a general sense - brilliant at trivial pursuit and 
pub quizzes), love books of all kinds, enquiring, engaged, fit & healthy, strong, open and broad minded (but not empty or leaky), adaptable, focused, omnivorous, humble, and have a great sense of humour.

The job involves engaging with clients from all walks of life, assessing, buying, pricing and cataloguing books, as well as overseeing staff and day-to-day business activities while finding time to be appropriately obsequious towards the owner.

Not a job for clockwatchers.

More a calling than a job, it requires you to learn and problem solve every day forever. It can be physically, mentally and sometimes emotionally demanding. The money is . . . ok . . . but the true satisfaction is in somehow maintaining some sense of order amidst the chaos, and loving the challenge of endeavouring to know it all, but finding there's always more to learn.
