      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Best Buy (Columbus, IN) in Jan 2012

      Interview

      I applied online to Best Buy for a Sales Associate position. A few days later, I was called in for an interview. The first interview was your basic run-of-the-mill one, with the 'Why do you want to work for us?' and 'What is your educational/work background?' questions. I was told that the manager that does the second interview was tied up with a meeting that day and couldn't do it then, but they'd call me back when there was time. A couple days later, I came back in for the second interview. It was a little more in depth, the questions being more along the lines of 'Tell me about a time when...' or 'In this circumstance what would you do?' The manager seemed a bit standoffish or shy, but overall it wasn't that bad of an interview (I've had much worse). The third interview was fantastic. The general manager was an absolute sweetheart, and it turned out that he and I were listening to the same CD (Bullet for my Valentine -Scream, Aim, Fire) the day before the interview. It was all very informal, and he was very easy to talk to. He said he wanted his employees to be familiar with him in case they ever had an issue, they'd be comfortable approaching him. I felt that this was very professional and unusual to see. At the end of the interview, he said I'd be contacted soon to set up orientation. This is where I'm currently standing ----- I was contacted the day of orientation (yesterday) by another manager (female) saying that she would have to reschedule the orientation because the room that is generally used for it was apparently being used without her knowledge. That and another recent hire apparently cannot show up through the week for orientation, so to make it more convenient for her she said she was attempting to make it happen on a weekend. She asked if that was okay for me, I said that's fine. She said that if she didn't call me later that day, she'd call me tomorrow (which was today, Thursday). It's now 3 a.m. on Friday morning and no call from her. If she doesn't call me today, I'll be calling back. I'm not sure where everything is going at this point. ----- Overall, not a bad interview process. They just seem a bit disorganized.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      At times we all have to deal with difficult or angry customers. Tell me about a time when you were in this situation and how did you deal with it? What was the outcome?

      Question 2

      You've just witnessed an employee walk to the front of the store, take a candy bar, unwrap it and eat it without paying. You feel that this is somewhat routine and has happened before. What would you do?
