Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 3 weeks)

The process was fairly slow in the beginning. But as soon as the process began, it had a quick upkeep. I went through several rounds of interviews, in person and over the phone and the people were very nice about it. I received the interview afterwards and accepted it immediately

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Columbus, OH (took 2 weeks)

I saw a posting online that BN was hiring for a specific location. It said to email your resume if interested. I got a phone response 2 days later to set up an interview! I really want this position! The interview went well, we talked a lot about my work history. Towards the end, she mentioned that she had a few more interviews and then she'll let me know.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Chicago, IL (took a day)

I had 1 face to face interview with the Store Manager it went well so I thought. It was more like
a conversation than a hard core interview. It was a behavior interview, which I do very well with.
B&N employees are very professional and make you feel comfortable. Good experience.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Saint Cloud, MN (took 1 week)

I was called on Tuesday and interviewed on Friday.I was asked why I wanted to work at the store and why I thought the job was right for me? I was also asked to tell him about myself and what I did at previous employers. During the interview we were interrupted by another employee offering to take the phone, which I knew then I wasnt getting hired.
