I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Barnes & Noble (Los Angeles, CA) in July 2021
Interview
it was basically a casual phone interview, simple questions, asked about experience and availability, the manager said i would have an interview in person soon, and yeah that’s basically it
A group interview process with a follow up solo interview. Questions ranged from average (strengths, weaknesses) to favorite books/what you’re currently reading. Even cafe workers should have a healthy appetite for books and answers prepared to demonstrate a passion for knowledge and being easily trainable.
We sat in the Cafe, where we could be present in the cafe during the interview. It was short, probably only 20-30 minutes in total. Questions could easily be prepared for by knowing the job description and knowing the top 10 most popular interview questions.
