I applied online. I interviewed at Best Buy (Marysville, WA) in Nov 2012
Interview
After applying online, i was contacted by phone in just two days. I wasn't aware but the phone call was an impromptu interview of about 4 questions. Such as if you're still interested in working for us, would you be available right away, and can you work weekends. After they are satisfied, they will you usually call you back later, either immediately or within a couple days. When you're in-store for the interview, you will usually be with one manager who asks what you would do if you had an angry customer, what would you do about employee fraud/theft how would you handle this situation, or that situation etc. If they like you, they will have the gm or store manager come in to see you. This may be immediately or again in a couple days (immediately if you're interviewing for holidays positions, later if its any other time of year). The gm asks a few more questions but is generally pulled in because they want to hire you, and then they go over your pay and when they will hire you from there.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Situational questions. They are easier than you think! Go with your gut.
I applied online. I interviewed at Best Buy (Bethlehem, PA)
Interview
Two interviews questions were standard interview questions. I would do it again the process was about what you should expect but management staff was also agreeable to answering questions. Benefits were explained in a way that made sense and salary negotiation was fair.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Richmond Hill, ON)
Interview
There were two interviews, the first one was with one manager via Zoom and the second was in person with one supervisor and a store manager. The first interview consists of very basic questions, such as "Why do you want to work at Best Buy", and "What is your availability?"
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you manage a situation when you believe you cannot finish the task before the deadline?
It was open, honest, and not too long of a process. It's appreciated if you are enthusiastic about working in a team environment, and about growth with the company as a whole.
