First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at University Book Store.
Cashier Sales Associate
I put in an application, then the store manager called me for an interview. She asked me how I dealt with a difficult customer and what I thought I did well. The interview went well, and I got the job.
- Tell me about a situation where you dealt with a challenging customer and how you resolved it.
- What do you consider a weakness in your work?
- What are your strengths?
Package Handler
The interview questions were about favorite writers, recent books, availability for boarding, and weekend work. It also included a question about whether I had any questions for them.
- Who is your favorite writer?
- What book have you read recently?
- When would you be available to start?
Technical Sales
I had a quick chat with the managers from the department. It was a pretty relaxed conversation in some comfy chairs. Two managers were there and they asked standard sales interview questions.
- How would you deal with a challenging customer, or if you didn't know the answer to something?
- What's your approach when faced with a tough customer or when you lack the necessary information?
Retail Associate
Had an interview with the department manager and HR. It was pretty chill with easy questions. They were really nice, talked about the store and how things work. Just asked standard customer service stuff.
- Can you tell me about a situation where you faced a problem and how you resolved it?
