I have always been a huge book nerd. Ever since I was little, I loved loved loved books. My Mom is the same and so is my Grandfather. So, when it came time to look for jobs, the first that came to my mind was Barnes and Noble. Unfortunately, they wont hire anyone under 18, so I waited. I applied at the end of my senior year of high school and ended up being hired as a supervisor since I had experience from previous jobs!!! I was there for a little over a year and it was definitely my favorite job ever and I was sad that I had to leave it when I left for JMU.
I have a few pictures from working the Breaking Dawn midnight sale. We were technically open but most people were there just to buy the book, so we had about 3 hours of down time and needed to keep ourselves entertained before getting attacked by preteens.

I worked at Borders for awhile. It was fun some of the time!
ReplyDeleteI worked at a Hallmark in the summers between college semesters. I have always loved cards (and books!) so I know how you feel :)
ReplyDeleteI can imagine that being the best job ever, I hadn't considered working at a bookstore yet, maybe I will!
