Applied a couple of times before getting the job. Show your love for books as they will ask you what you like to read, your academic interests, and so on. If you have an adequate knowledge of Japanese, you'll be asked if you want to work with Japanese or English books.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Books Kinokuniya (Singapore) in Jun 2024
Interview
WILL NOT RECOMMEND this company as they will simply waste your time by ghosting you for a month or more after the interview. They did not provide any updates, be it pending or rejected, and did not bother to reply my emails when asked about the interview status.
I applied online. I interviewed at Books Kinokuniya (Kuala Lumpur) in Sep 2022
Interview
Simple and straight questions. Short and brief sessions. The HR were friendly and supportive. Can negotiate the salary during the interview. Educational background do effect the salary for full timer. The salary per hour for part timer is RM8.30, if not mistaken
Interview questions [1]
