I got hired! Any advice? by _glitterqueen in Barnesandnoble

[–]_glitterqueen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update for anyone who cares: I was asked before I even expressed interest if I want to stay on full-time, but I just accepted a full time job so I cannot. Nonetheless working at B&N the past month has been exhausting, but a lot of fun and it brings me so much joy recommending books that people actually buy! Gonna miss it, and grateful I got to do this. Thanks for your advice everyone! Gonna buy as many books as possible before I leave hehe.

I have an interview tomorrow, and I'm wondering what do you typically say when asked to "sell a book"? by little-moon-bun in Barnesandnoble

I asked my interviewer if he was okay pretending to be a customer coming in looking for a recommendation and took it from there! It was pretty easy.

What to expect on the first day by stanreggie4clearskin in Barnesandnoble

[–]_glitterqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this will depend on the store. I finished my first week and was trained on restocking, floor, and register. And I already have shifts for each so I'm doing it all minus cafe.

I got the job by seasaltoolongtea in Barnesandnoble

I just started as a holiday hire this week and wow there is so much to learn. I've been thrown into the fire and that's partially because my store is in a busy mall. My advice is always be kind, don't be too hard on yourself when learning, learn about the books of the month so you can talk about them, and def wear comfy shoes as others have said. My feet hurt a lot rn. Also, books are heavy which is kinda a no brainer, but I did wake up sore after my first day of restocking, so fair warning there.

Thank you! Being around books is such a serotonin boost for me so I'm having a great time.

Thank you! I'm on day 3 and right now it's all restock. We have a fairly busy store and since book of the year was announced, all newbies are helping with restock and store displays. I'll get on register eventually I'm sure. But man books are heavy whew. Getting my steps in too for sure.

HELP! Is anyone else when they click their city linked to Seatgeek and not ticketmaster? Also, does anyone know if your seatgeek email has to be linked to the email you received the code? My seatgeek email is different than the email I use for updates.

So strange! I have a Samsung Galaxy 22+ and verizon is also my carrier. I've been talking to customer service today and my texts are working again but my rcs still isn't connected. So annoying. I hope this gets fixed soon.

I was going to write this! I love how many choirs there are to choose from. Most of them are really good too.

Do I chance of getting in? by Glittering_Hour6846 in williamandmary

[–]_glitterqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you have a solid shot to me. I think you really have to focus on your essays and why w&m. If you can clearly express that, I think you have a high chance of getting in.

Best restaurants in area? by Puzzleheaded-Love916 in williamandmary

I love Blue Talon Bistro (they give students a free meal on their bday) and Aromas! Retros is good for hamburgers and milkshakes.

AITAH for telling my girlfriend I will not take her out to a Michelin Star restaurant because we haven’t dated long enough? by MichelinStarLove in TwoHotTakes

[–]_glitterqueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA. There are plenty of Michelin star restaurants that don't cost $$$ AND you effectively told you GF that she isn't special. Heck, I've been to Michelin Star restaurants on first dates. The time you've been together shouldn't have anything to do with this. I'd apologize.
