Take the time to research Barnes and Noble and the position you are applying for. Familiarize yourself with the company, its goals, and what makes it unique. Think about the unique qualities that make you stand out from other candidates. Emphasize why those qualities make you a great fit for the position. Provide concrete examples of how your skills and qualifications have helped you succeed in past positions. This will help demonstrate to the interviewer why you are the right person for the job.

"I am a hard worker, always willing to do jobs others don't want to do. For example, my previous employer had difficulty finding staff to cover the early-morning shift. I volunteered to take the shift because I knew my managers needed a responsible employee to open the shop. I also have a positive attitude, which usually rubs off on my coworkers and customers. I get along well with others and enjoy working as part of a team. In a retail setting like Barnes and Noble's, collaboration and a positive attitude can go a long way, and I think those qualities will make me a valuable employee."
