I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Hatchards (London, England) in Nov 2022
Interview
One interview in the main bookshop in Piccadilly in a back office. Asked me about experience in selling/front of house and literary tastes - what I was reading/what I'd recently enjoyed. Asked me to recommend books for various scenarios of different readers requesting different things. Was overall a nice chat, not too taxing.
