Screening quiz for prospective Borders employees

[Hugh]

Would you have qualified to work at Borders? Here is a sample from a quiz that prospective employees had to take:

So you think you could have worked at Borders? - CNN.com

I would have failed this small sample.

The salespeople I met at Borders, especially those at the iinformation desk, were indeed all very knowledgable, and ours was a nice clean store, well-kept and without dogeared copies or people sprawling on the floor as the one commenter experienced in her store.
Sorry it's gone.
Actually, sorry they are all gone, as my comment applies to all of the half-dozen or so stores I got to use on a rather frequent basis.
Could I have worked there? Not if they required a high score on their quiz.

I . . . may not have been able to pass that. I feel slightly embarrassed now :lol:.

i only knew

7. "Thus Spake Zarathustra"

8. "Critique of Pure Reason"

because I read them for my philosophy major in college. That's kind of a crazy test I feel like, would people really know all the answers to that without knowing what was on the test before hand?

on a side note, I got some sweet discounts when the store was empty, I got Dragon's Path for 6 bucks instead of paying 15.99 like i was going to

It's sad that they even have to ask question 11.
