Advice and answer examples written specifically for a Bookstore job interview.
23. What is your favorite book?
How to Answer
The interviewer just wants to know what type of books you like to read. There is no right or wrong answer here. Take the opportunity to relay information about some of your all-time favorite reads. This is an excellent opportunity to start a conversation by asking the interviewer about their favorite reads as well.

I have too many favorite books to list but a few in my top five include Walden, The Razer's Edge, How to Make Friends and Influence People, and Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. I follow many world leader book recommendations and expand my reading list as often as possible. From Bill Gates to Oprah, I am always looking for a recommendation on new, great reading material!"
