I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Books-A-Million (Colonial Heights, VA) in May 2010
Interview
It really depends of the manager not the interviewe. I have seen many cases that a manager would hire someone based on their looks especially it's a female on female interview. Like I have said many times over, at BAM, there is a lot of corruption. Also, you got to have expereince at selling something. But then again, the way that managers get their stores sales, it really dosen't matter since they cheat to do so.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What was the best performance on a job and what did you to obtain your goals
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.
