I messed up badly on Barnes and Noble phone interview. Am I screwed?


The call totally came unexpected so I wasn t prepared. In all honesty, I thought I d never get an interview since my past online applications have been rejected before so I was surprised I even got through to a phone interview this time. But because I was unprepared, I ended up stuttering, mumbling, and sounding flat. I also answered questions such as "why should we hire you" awkwardly. For example I blurted out that I have good memory skills and that I know the store like the back of my hand, which doesn t say anything about how well I d do on the job.

B&N is one of those places I wanted to work at but after my failure of an interview does that mean I m screwed? I have phone anxiety so phone interviews are the worst for me

Why am I not enjoying Earthbound?


I bought Earthbound recently, and I'm currently in the town of Twoson. I am honestly VERY underwhelmed considering the things I've heard about this game. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE 16-bit graphics, the games humor, and the concept of the game in general. That said, there are some things that bug me. I like how there are no random attacks in the game, but with the way the enemies run a lightning speed towards you, it might as well be randomly generated. I hate how whenever I die, I spawn back at my house, and I have to trek all the way back to my previous location. I also LOATHE the unreliable "flee" function. I swear, I will use "flee" 4 times, if that before it works. Even then, I might as well have died because by that time I only have 14 HP left! Also, the battle system i Really boring. It gets especially bad when I have to grind. So, my question is, does the game get better? Am I not taking the precautions to get the most out of my experience? I really don't know what I could be doing wrong. I talk to everyone I meet, I explore little nooks and crannies, etc. What am I missing? Or, what am I doing wrong?

What business/motivational book should I read?


I'm a business student currently doing my bachelors at university, and i'm in need of finding a good book to read. I want something relevant to business or self motivational books, so far I have found these two books which I will probably buy - "The richest man in Babylon" and "The magic of thinking big" if you have read these what do you think of them? What books can you recommend to me?

I need some motivation to be successful, I really want further my knowledge and I am striving for success.

Thanks

How to publish a book for free?


My little brother is 11 years old and he just finished his book: The Dark Nights.
The story is about a trio and it goes to a haunted house and comes back with very magical, scary and bizzare experiences.
The book is actually a novelette (13,000 words).
He wants to self-publish the book.
Which website can do it for free?
He is saying that he needs the book both in print and eBook format.
Can he do that for free?
I think that the print will cost and the eBook will be free, but is there any place or website which will publish books for free?
He needs it only in websites:
kobo
Amazon
Amazon Kindle
iBooks
Barnes&Noble
Lulu
He will either publish all through Lulu or separately.
My dad will edit it.
He just needs a website which can publish print books for free.
He also needs a website which can publish eBooks for free.
Are there websites like those?
Or there is only single which will let you publish eBooks and print books for free?
