"As a Barnes and Noble customer, I've noticed your company's collaborative environment. Every time I walk into the store, the staff are friendly and welcoming to customers and encouraging and supportive of each other. Teamwork is so important in most industries, but it is essential in retail. I am a team player and work best with a team of hard-working, supportive coworkers. I think I would fit right in with the rest of your team."

"While exploring your website, I learned that Barnes and Noble recently began prioritizing accessibility, specifically access to digital resources. The popularity of e-books and other forms of digital media hurt a lot of brick-and-mortar booksellers, so I was excited to see that Barnes and Noble is making a comeback. While I love reading physical books, I also appreciate the convenience of technology. I have a background in IT and love to teach. Along with my regular duties of cashiering, shelving, doing inventory, and helping customers find what they need in the store, I would also enjoy helping customers who come in with issues with their Nooks and other digital services."
