job interview at a book store can anyone predict what will be asked?

Answer 1

if its Boders, I'm gonna guess it will be VERY customer service related.
They will ask what your book,music, movie interests are, but they will really focus on customer service.

One question I was asked, that really felt like a canned interview question for them, is "What would you do if someone that spoke no english and you did not speak their language, came up to you and wanted help finding a book?"

Wth all interviews, show your personality, focus on customers, teamwork and try to think out of the box.

Answer 2

Well, you'll definitely get some standard interview questions such as:
What qualities do you have that make you good for this job?
What is your biggest weakness?/ What is your greatest strength?
Most interviews start with "tell me about yourself": be prepared to answer this in a way that relates to the job- talk about a love of books, not your third-grade girlfriend.
They'll probably ask your favorite book and/or author.
Maybe how you deal with kids if its a kid-friendly bookstore.
Some bookstores have you take a test (mostly about classic literature)
Good luck!
