I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Books-A-Million (Charleston, SC) in Jan 2011
Interview
You sit down one on one with one of the managers and discuss the job requirements of the job. One of the few things they might not mention is the benefits of selling the discount cards and magazines. They are going to add a lot more emphasis to it after you are hired. I'd advised picking up a second job
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
About my Retail experience, and a few other questions.
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.
