I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Joseph Beth Booksellers (Lexington-Fayette, KY)
Interview
The interview process was straightforward. Just be prepared to answer questions about yourself and your strengths as a worker. Being a reader and having knowledge of books is a plus.

Do you have experience working in customer service?
I applied online. I interviewed at Joseph Beth Booksellers in Apr 2024
Interview
I applied via Indeed and almost immediately someone messaged me on the app to set up a phone interview. The phone interview went well, and we set an in-person interview appointment for the following Monday. The morning of, I messaged over the app asking for parking information (as the location is in a hospital and I was unsure of what door to use). Immediately I received a call saying the position has been filled and they were canceling my interview. I was very surprised by this- there had only been 2 business days since my phone interview. I posted a review at the time wondering if my in person interview had been cancelled because they were put off by my asking about parking. I am re-posting to add that since then, it has become clear that I am being black listed from their company, as every single application I’ve sent in (including to the same position, as it opened again a few months later) has been rejected via Indeed, immediately. I wish I had gotten a clear answer on why I am apparently not to be considered for any future employment, as I am now suspecting it is because of my glassdoor review about my negative experience. Please be aware there is a chance the hiring managers read this page and if they put together who you are from the details, you may not be able to get an interview ever.
I interviewed at a time when I had much relevant experience and would have been a good fit. Far too extensive process for the job at hand. Lack of clarity about requirements ahead of time.
