I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Books-A-Million (Orange Park, FL) in Jun 2013
Interview
BAM called me within two days of applying online. I had group interview with another person and two managers. They asked me generic sales person questions, and also asked me to "sell" them a piece of merchandise (a pen) They called next day and hired me.
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.
