I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Books-A-Million (Lexington, SC) in Mar 2018
Interview
I met with the general manager of the store and one of the team leads. They were very personable, asked normal retail interview questions. They were nice and made me feel comfortable.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They ask you to pick something from the pop culture section and sell it to them.
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.
