I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Best Buy (Waterloo, IA) in Sep 2012
Interview
Applied online and was contacted by phone a few days later. Was asked if still interested and when I would be available to come in for an interview. Had interview with a manager and asked questions. Was asked to tell about past work history, situational questions lik working with angry customers, working with a bad group, going above and beyond for a customer. Was told I did well and that I would be contacted for another interview soon. Got a call the next day and set up interview with the general manager for 2 days later. I was asked more questions like Who is best buys biggest competition, why do you want to work here, have you ever seen a customer steal, what should happen if an employee steals. Was offered a job at the end of the interview and given papers for drug test. Pay was starting at 8.25
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you make a lasting relationship with the customer so they come back to the store
Was not hard. Asked simple behavioural questions and wanted to grasp if I could handle high-pressured environments to be able to handle work on days such as Black Friday. Mostly just talked about my past experience in retail!
It wasn’t bad at all. It was just a few quick questions about my past experience and whether or not I would be able to work part or full time, stuff like that.
