Books-A-Million interview questions

I applied on a Tuesday, got a call to schedule the interview on a Saturday and had the interview on Tuesday. The interview was at 11:00 and I arrived 15 minutes early. They gave me some papers to read and told me to wait in the cafe. The interviewer came at around 11:10 and the interview lasted about 20 minutes. She asked me to tell her about myself, asked about previous jobs/experience, what days/hours I would be availiable, and a few "what would you do if..." questions. She explained the job to me and also the benefits. She explained that it was a sales job and all employees are required to offer and sell a certain amount of discount cards. She also asked what type of books i liked, my favorite book and why, etc. I also told her that I was starting college in the summer and she asked to bring in my class schedule when I got it and she would be in touch. And I said I would bring it the next week when I would get classes scheduled.

The online application process was a little bit strange. In addition to filling out the actual application, I had to fill out a questionnaire which seemed like it was a mix between an ethics test ("What would you do if you saw a fellow associate stealing...", "What would you do if a customer wanted....", etc.) and an IQ test (a smattering of logic, reading comprehension, and even a basic math question or two). I heard back from the company extremely fast -- within two days -- and was granted an interview later in the same week. The interview was rather quick and very low key. It is very clear that the biggest thing that they're looking for is hiring people who can sell BAM's discount cards and magazine subscriptions, so I suggest you familiarize yourself with these two programs before the interview, and maybe even expect to give an impromptu pitch to the interviewer as if he or she were a customer.
