I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Best Buy (Lees Summit, MO) in Oct 2008
Interview
I submitted my application online and I was called about a week later to come in for an interview. I showed up about 10 minutes early, told the front door Loss Prevention employee what I was there for and he directed me towards the chairs by Customer Service. I sat there for about 20 minutes until one of the employees wandered up to me and asked me to come with him. He led me to the little furniture section and we sat out in the middle of it, using a desk that was out on display and a couple chairs. It was kind of awkward interviewing out there as a few customers walked by while I was talking.
Once that was completed he said they would be calling back in a week or two to let me know. I received a call back about a week later, and they arranged another interview with the store manager. Some more of the same old same old except it was actually in a store room so there weren't customers walking by this time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell about a time where you had to help someone in need.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Chicago, IL)
Interview
I was excited to interview for a regular position after working there seasonally. Looking back, having to interview for a job I already had should have been a clue as to how disorganized things were. Hopefully it was just the store I interviewed at, and not the company as a whole.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Best Buy (Milwaukee, WI) in Aug 2018
Interview
They just basically chatted with me about myself. It was very casual. They asked a lot about what kind of music I like, so we talked about music a lot. This was years ago when Best Buy sold a lot of CDs.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Best Buy (East Brunswick, NJ)
Interview
Applied online filling out a long personality test that I could not even pass again after I was hired. This proves that the process of selecting employees is unfair and does not reflect ability to do the job. First interviewed with manager, called back for GM interview and hired on the spot.
