Working in a bookstore involves an unusual combination of very "left-brain" activities like basic arithmetic, precise typing or copying ofnumbers, shelving books alphabetically, and comparing lists of items; and "right-brain" interests, i.e., a knowledge and love of books, an ability to relate easily to all kinds of people, and an enthusiasm for connecting the right person to the right book.
Describe a couple of your favorite books: title and/or authors, and why you like them. (They don't have to be women or gay writers
Do you have other experiences, education, interests that you think demonstrate your interest in working in a feminist/LGBT bookstore? Use the back if neccessary.
