QUESTION 3 OF 35

What do you know about Barnes and Noble? Why do you want to work for us?

You are likely familiar with Barnes and Noble's reputation as a book retailer, but the company has recently undergone change to stay relevant among today's consumers. In addition to the books and other products in their physical stores, they are committed to providing digital products and services that are accessible to the widest possible audience.

Before your interview, explore the company's website and familiarize yourself with the company, its products and services, and its values. Be prepared to talk about what intrigues you about this job.

"I've been a Barnes and Noble customer for years -- I'm an avid reader and am working on getting my degree in English. With over 1 million titles to choose from, they're my one-stop book-buying shop. I would love to work at a company where I can share my love of books with other Barnes and Noble customers!"

"I am an avid reader and would love to have a job where I am surrounded by books all day. That said, I know brick-and-mortar books stores have been going out of style. I recently learned about Barnes and Noble's commitment to accessibility, and I'm glad to hear that the company is adapting to this new generation of digital readers. I've looked into some of the products and services Barnes and Noble offers, including your blog, podcast, and, of course, the Nook e-reader, and I think all of them are a great way to connect with customers. I'd love to work for a company that works so hard to connect with its customers."
