Barnes and Noble's brick-and-mortar stores use creative displays to attract customers. As an employee, you may be expected to work on these displays. Discuss your experience with product displays. If you don't have experience creating your own displays, talk about displays you've seen and what you liked about them. You can also share your ideas for a display.

"I have a strong creative flair, and I think I would enjoy creating displays! I think I have enough experience in retail to understand what attracts a customer and what prompts them to purchase, and I'm eager to learn more. The displays I have seen in your stores are fascinating, and I would love to be a part of those creative projects."

"I don't have experience creating displays, but I love looking at the ones I've seen in other bookstores. I've seen some very creative ones! I would enjoy trying it out. If I were creating a book display, I think I would make a fantasy-themed one. I would use a cardboard cut-out of a castle for the backdrop, maybe with a dragon climbing on it. The display would have popular fantasy books like the Game of Thrones series and The Lord of the Rings."
