Colloquio
The overall process was very simple considering other interviews I've done.
I applied online through Barnes and Nobles website, and made sure to introduce myself to the manager the next day. He had a quick talk with me, and a few days later I get a call from the manager for a phone interview. It was very basic, a book lover could get the job easily. I had stuttered so much through the interview and was shaking, the manager told me over the phone I wouldn't get an answer till the following week, however I went into the store a day of two after to get a newly released book and he comes up to me and tells me that as long as my back ground check goes through okay the job is mine.
I only had one phone interview and the longest wait was waiting for the back ground check to go through.
I was not really asked about my experience much aside from one question about if I know how retail works and what the job entails, ect. Most of the questions were about books and why I wanted to work at the store plus how I knew the employee who had referred me.

Pretty simple, they asked a lot of retail questions and how I would choose to create a personalized table to present new books. The hardest part is getting the interview in the first place

Interview process was pretty straightforward. They asked me about my past experience and how I could apply that as a bookseller. They also took me through the store and had me analyze the displays and shelves, telling them what themes I saw. That was probably the hardest part.
They ask you to describe a scenario regarding picking out a book for a customer. And to specify the contents of the book and genre. It was a pretty laid back interview.
