I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Books-A-Million (Virginia Beach, VA) in Oct 2018
Interview
It was a group interview that was conducted in the cafe area of the store. There were about 6 of us being interviewed by the manager and general manager of the store.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a time you had a difficult interaction at work, and how you handled the situation.
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.
