Microsoft is prepare to unveil a number of holiday retail stores including Manhattan in New York City, according to a handful of published job listings. We previously looked at a number of potential locations for Microsoft stores in an unofficial list, simply information technology'due south good to see bear witness of actual positions at future stores open up.

The positions available at the these "Vacation Stores" -- as they're referred to in the task titles -- are retail product advisors, who would be tasked with completing the user feel when potentially purchasing Microsoft products. Here'due south an excerpt from the job posting:

"If you love to share your excitement, engage with people, and empower them to explore all the ways Microsoft technology tin make a departure in their lives, we should get to know one some other. The Product Advisor volition exist the main provider of product noesis and sales back up, before and after the auction, for Microsoft retail customers. This person is 1 of the first points of contact for our customers."

Here is the total list of "holiday stores", co-ordinate to the Taleo website:

We could only be seeing the bricks and mortar from Microsoft at sure places for a limited time, merely if they're a hit there's no reason why Microsoft couldn't proceed a permanent shop open up in busy locations. With Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 just effectually the corner, information technology makes sense for Microsoft to aggrandize their stores, even if they're merely temporary to see the year out.
