      I have bad social anxiety as well I kept putting off calling them to see if they had jobs open over there (until just now) but i knew eventually I would have to get a job somewhere at some point so I chose the closest thing to me :((

    Being a book lover and working at Barnes is incredibly dangerous!! I love it, though!

      A A Barns and Noble is expensive. And by working there you’re tempted to shop.

    You are so lucky to be able to work at B&N ! I live in France and you can't work in a bookstore without a degree that takes 2 years of studies.

    • @ahumblebooklover
      @ahumblebooklover  5 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Oh wow!! That's so weird about the degree, but I can't believe you live in France! It's my dream to go there!

      @@ahumblebooklover Yeah it sucks, you need a degree for everything here it's quite annoying. I'm doing an internship at my favourite bookstore for 2 week and I am having a BLAST ! France is great but don't be fooled by the image it has, it's not as great as it seems.

    • @ahumblebooklover
      @ahumblebooklover  5 ปีที่แล้ว +54

      I would still apply if you really want to work!! You can work as little as a few hours a week, and I had zero retail experience at first either. don’t worry, they will help you become comfortable with everything!

    • @ahumblebooklover
      @ahumblebooklover  5 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Don’t be afraid to ask your coworkers where everything is!! You don’t have to memorize where everything is at once. And once you learn everything, it will be a breeze working there! Even now looking back at this video, I’ve made a vast improvement, and it’s alright to make mistakes. Hopefully your managers are there to help you along!

    • @ahumblebooklover

    All my life dreaming to work in a bookstore and this idea kept moving in my head since i am an author and children writer but all these rules of working are very hard to me, i could not handle it and someday i will have my own small bookstore. And this is so fun to buy things you love in a bookstore, if this makes you happy go for it, no problem to reward yourself with something you really love to have. I think we should reward ourselves with things that we love, guilty pleasures ... Yay.

      Mary Puchis i got the job, and tbh it’s been rough on me. i was a little lost at first as i’d never worked in retail before, and they kinda just threw me on the register. also pushing me so hard to get emails and memberships stresses me out lol. definitely not how i imagined it to be:(

      Crystal Ramos so with b&n, you experience customers who will belittle you for not knowing something or not having a book. lots of stealing, and you have the membership and books of the month drilled down your throat. other than that it’s a pretty easy ride and it can be nice!

      I don't have to read all the books in order to be a huge fan. From age 4 I fell in love with the movies (I was just not into reading at that age), and even now I love them and the books I have read in the series. Please don't shame people for not reading certain books or being a fan of something they love :)

      It’s fine if the amount of HP books I’ve read really bothers you, but I’d rather read them at my own pace so I can fully appreciate them and give them my full attention. Still, there’s no requirements to be a fan of something.
