I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Books-A-Million (Orlando, FL) in Nov 2019
Interview
Quick and easy. Walked in and immediately had an associate call the manager and was able to start the interview. Got hired on the spot and was a fairly lax environment.
It was a quick phone call and was very easy, casual conversation. Questions focused on background and interest in working at the store and knowledge of stock management. I also went in person to discuss further.
Know about books. Don't wear jeans. Store has closed so you probably won't get hired here now. Expect to be asked about sales skills and customer service skills and literacy skills.
