[@ThePORKYPIG123]

Applied. Got hired on the spot. Hate reading and last book I read was YEARS ago. Answered every situation scenario question like a pro. *dusts off shoulders*

[@vanessasgenesis]

[@ασσυ-ρ4ι]

Do you mind sharing what they asked?

[@Kay_Anni]

This is so helpful! I love your channel:). I have my in person interview today and I’m so excited bc this is my dream job!

[@LiterallyLo]

I have no plans to work at B&N but this was fascinating regardless👀

[@nidhireddyreads]

AW thank you for still watching!!! i tried making it informative 😭

[@kat.j0y548]

I am so happy you made this video and that I found it. It's very hard to get hired at my local Barnes and Noble but it's been my dream job and I just applied. I love to read. I haven't really read any of the newer romance/sci-fi books though I know about booktok. I was wondering if it would be bad if I didn't have a lot of previous experiences to all these new books or the booktok books. Would that maybe be a reason they wouldn't hire? I also wondered if you had any tips on upselling a book? one more question. isn’t calling to let them know seem a little pushy? like how would i mention it in a casual way. or just what do you usually say when you call to let them know you submitted an application

[@1neupaya]

Did you get it?? :)

[@marniesweets]

Would you recommend these same tips to someone interviewing for a seasonal bookseller position at a University's B&N? I applied at the Temple University B&N and have a zoom interview coming up. If you have any extra tips please let me know! Update: I got the job! Interview was relatively easy, because I have volunteer library experience. Will update if they decide to sign me on for longer term. :)

[@ασσυ-ρ4ι]

Do you remember what questions they asked?

[@sadstarenterprises]

I wanna do a summer job and this is definitely on the list so I could possibly work with my friend. I always go to Barnes when I need a book it's everything I always thought a book store could be, plus I love a little willful reading

[@jennafox8556]

It's not fair that it comes so easily to you. Whereas, it's my dream job and I can't even get an interview. 😒

[@jennafox8556]

After mere minutes of posting this comment, Barnes & Noble called to give me an interview. 😂

[@jennafox8556]

I got the job. 🥳 And my new manager is the best. 🤗

[@Milkbread12]

@@jennafox8556 what a series of events lmao

I wish I had this video when I was really young like back in 1995, 1997 or 1998, I should have worked at Barnes and Nobles back then instead working at a shitty movie theater, I was an usher, which was basically like a janitor.

[@ariela_]

I applied every time I saw a opening in my locations and one of the locations sent me a rejection email the very next day. I live in nyc by the way but yeah it’s super hard to get a job there. I even call but they never reach back out to me.

[@GreggIsMoving]

Thank you for the video! I've been trying to interview for B&N forever but they NEVER have openings in or around my area. I feel like I should just walk in one day and inquire directly. It's curious why there are never openings, either I always miss them or people really do love working there and no one ever leaves??? Yikes though to that 10 dollar starting pay, that's a crime.

[@ilsegomez8087]

Sorry I had to stop the video when you started to say what a great worker you were 😂 thanks for the tips though

[@gwenmichigander277]

I am planning to apply for a Bookseller position at my local B&N. Any advice on what I should do for my cover letter and résumé since this will be my first job? (I do have a bit of work experience, as the place my mom used to work had a bring-your-kid to work day. That’s the only work experience I have, though) I do love books, too, but I’m kinda picky about what books I read.

[@AtinyElring]

hi, did you ever apply and do you have any advice/tips?

[@SaraiTorresHernandez]

I've recently applied for a temporary position as a bookseller and am waiting for any updates that state they accepted or declined my application.

[@aminishnamedvaati]

same. however i have 0 work experience so my chances probably arent looking good.

[@a73t0ne]

if i wanted to work there as a first job with no experience is that a good choice?

[@AtinyElring]

that's exactly my question....i have no work experience, but i want to work there.

[@bunny-xc6hi]

LOVE YOU SLAYER THANKS A MILLION

[@hanzzer21]

Hi! So, I'm trying to apply online, but I can't seem to find the exact Barnes and Noble I'm trying to apply for. Would that mean that they are not hiring? And if I call, what should I ask for specifically? Thanks :)

[@ασσυ-ρ4ι]

What should i say when i call the store?

[@shanifoy-watson8255]

What should a teenager wear to the job interview?

[@Alittlebitofeverything29]

anything buisness casual but B&N hires at 18

[@nidhireddyreads]

my barnes and noble started hiring at 16! business casual is good, i wore a long sleeve sweater and comfortable dress pants :)

[@origamicrane685]

What was the uniform?

[@amaiahj181]

[@ashishvlog1994]

Nice

[@GracieLovesHorses]

IM A THEATRE KID😂

[@CRiver396]

Doesn't look like a job most people would want.

[@Teodoratt]

I want it.

[@mikeywestside8509]

Barnes & Noble would never hire me because I always look for the Karl Marx books and throw them in the trash. What can I say, the store has trash cans conveniently placed all throughout the store. And where else would you put trash?🤷🏻‍♂️
