I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Books-A-Million (Baltimore, MD) in Sep 2021
Interview
Interview was very laid back and chill. Very easy going. Felt super comfortable the whole time and felt like It was a conversation with a friend. Definitely the easiest part about the getting the job process.
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.
