Owl's Books

A small bookstore, neatly placed among some of Little Tokyo’s most popular cafes and eateries-- Owl’s Books offers a wide array in its surprisingly large selection of literature. Whether you’re interested in getting into a new series, or finding something you’ve read before, please do stop by.  If you can think it, they most likely carry it. If they don’t, then feel free to make a suggestion! The owner is a curious sort, so she wouldn’t mind some feedback from her clientele.

Name: Ruby Rose.

Age: Seventeen. 

Why are you interested in this job? (Sales Associate): Well, books are… Eh… Kind of my thing. I’ve loved them for as long as I can remember, and being surrounded by them seems like the best way to earn money here — short of bringing Huntsmen to Isola, I guess! 

Are you able to work a 7-hour shift by yourself, if you have to?: Yep, no problem!

Are you able to keep the store’s books neat and orderly?: I can… Definitely do my best! And my best is pretty great! 

Do you have any retail or customer service experience?: Nope, not really! But I’ve done a lot of odd jobs while traveling… Most of them were extermination — but not always!!

Age: 19

Why are you interested in this job? (Sales Associate): I love books and reading, so working at a bookstore with such a wide variety sounds pleasant and something I could be good at.

Are you able to work a 7-hour shift by yourself, if you have to?: Yes

Are you able to keep the store’s books neat and orderly?: Yes

Do you have any retail or customer service experience?: No, not really…but I’m a quick learner and willing to do what it takes to be great at it. 

Age: … Yes, most likely.

Why are you interested in this job? (Sales Associate): Er… I–like books? I tend to read in my spare time, so I believe it would be nice to be able to… I don’t know. Suggest some of the books to customers with firsthand experience. I cannot say I have exactly… sold anything before, but er, why not start now or some such.

Are you able to work a 7-hour shift by yourself, if you have to?: Yes. I have no problems with being alone and handling anything that may arise with myself. It’s more of an expertise of mine than sales. I am quite a speedy person, even with what this city has taken away from me, so I could quickly hop from place to place if required. Regardless, any sort of stress of working by myself would be no issue, so long as I am able to keep my phone on my person.

Are you able to keep the store’s books neat and orderly?: Yes. I have never had an issue with organization, I would simply need to be told what way to do so.

Do you have any retail or customer service experience?: Oh I answered this already didn’t I. I do not. I didn’t particularly… hm. “Get out much”, I suppose, before coming here. There was not much I could exactly have pitched to sell, let alone anyone I could have pitched it to.

Are you able to work a 7-hour shift by yourself, if you have to?: Yes!

Are you able to keep the store’s books neat and orderly?: Of course, I was a big book aficionado back in my world. As my most cherished possessions, they must be neat and ready for the customers.

Do you have any retail or customer service experience?: Not really, but I do know how to manage social arrangements as the daughter of a duke. I am well-versed in etiquette when necessary.
