I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Books-A-Million in May 2010
Interview
I am stressed after reading all of the reviews that have been posted for this company. The first inteview was informal and the co-manager made it very clear that selling the discount card was a huge priority. I love this store and remain hopeful.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They handed me a package of skittles and asked me to sell it.
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.
