I thought you might enjoy reading the office manager job description that I posted to Craigslist last night. I spent some time thinking about how to find a great person who has the right mindset and demeanor to fit in at Punchbowl. And this job description is what came out of that thinking. Every question in the job description has a purpose, and I’ve gotten some very interesting emails today as a result. What do you think? Do you think I’ll find a great office manager with this job posting?
