Relatively easy. Met with an assistant manager, she went over my qualifications and asked a few questions about my experience. Hired on the spot (contingent on passing background check). Told I would start on a temporary part-time basis and would switch over to regular part-time as long as "everything worked out" (i.e. did not find a higher paying position) After hire, was brought in, given employee handbook. Trained for one week, then relatively independent in role.

15 minute interview. asked about what books i read, how i would recommend books and about the membership program and if i was comfortable upselling. was told about benefits and salary as well as hours
