SVT - be thinking about a book that you've recently read. One of the more popular interview questions these days involves the last book that you've read and what you thought of it. A lot of executives use this question during their character discovery interogation.

May or may not happen, but thought it was worth mentioning.

Good luck!

congrats bro

Nope i'll probably stay with that job, it's just a weekend job and i dont wanna leave the guys hanging...they rely on me

[Bojangles69]

Congrats bro, I actually love interviews. Only thing I have a prob with is public speaking. But in a setting like that where your constantly getting feedback from who your speaking with you can calibrate and steer the vibe to your favor, you dont get that in a speech and thats why I hate the shit.
G-luck though and hopefully youll actually enjoy the job.

One portion of this new venture involves store-in-store concepts in up to 4,000 stores.

* Address specific issues and trouble-shoot problems as they arise. Be first contact for store management in partner organization. Act as Staples “Ambassador” to the field.
* Within Staples, interact with select staff on issues and problems, including the field, where appropriate (e.g., communication with field personnel is a specific geography).
