Microsoft Corp. last week began hiring employees for its coming retail stores in California and Arizona by posting a list on the Web of the six different positions available.

They include assistant store managers for its planned stores in Mission Viejo, Calif. and Scottsdale, Az., customer service, sales and inventory associates, as well as two techie positions: retail technical advisor and retail trainer.

Reporting to the store manager, both positions require "an elite level of product knowledge in all Microsoft retail product and service offerings" and the ability to be an "example of the Microsoft vision of the customer relationship."
