Current Events > Should I apply to a local bookstore for the 4th time?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Let's see my history.

2009 - applied to Waterstones

Outcome - interviewed, but rejected

2010 - applied to Waterstones

Outcome - rejected

2011 - applied to Waterstones

Outcome - interviewed, but rejected

I guess I got the message after. Although, it's been 6 years, so perhaps I should give it another go. It'll be the same women and man interviewing me, however, so I don't know if they'll like me a lot. Of course, I don't really have anything to lose...apart from time and self-esteem (for the fourth time).

What do you think? They'll probably be looking for Christmas staff soon.

Have you in any way improved your relevant experience or skills since the previous rejections?

If you can read and count you should be qualified

I suppose. I've worked several jobs, and one was as a stockroom assistant, which I hadn't done before. Perhaps I should apply.

Go for it, you're better equipped more than you were then by virtue of that job.

Go for it, do you visit that bookstore often?

Go for it. If any bookstore chain has a future (as an actual bookstore-- not a knick-knack store), it's Waterstones. You were clearly on the bubble before and you're a better candidate now.
