      Geek Squad CIA Interview

      Mar 21, 2009
      Anonymous employee
      Chicago, IL
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2007

      Interview

      They do not have paper applications, all applications need to be filled out on their website. Then when you complete the application your supposed to wait for a call, after a week of not getting a call, I called in to check on the status of my application. I spoke to the hiring manager, and we setup a time and day for my first of two interviews. I walked in and asked the security employee to page the manager, and waited for about 30 minutes, finally the manager came and greeted me and took me into the interview room. In the room he asked me basic questions such as why do you want to work here, and are you a team player. Then when the interview was over, he said he would talk to the General Manager about me and I should recieve a call for my second interview. After about a week of not hearing from anyone, I called in and got the hiring manager again, and we setup a second interview. I met with the general manager this time, and this interview was much shorter, and the questions were mostly theft related, such as if I saw someone steal a piece of gum, would I report him? The GM basically wanted to insure that I was trustworthy. He offered me a certain hourly pay, and there wasn't much room to negotiate, he bases the pay offer on what you write down as your previous pay as well as what you would like to get paid from the internet application, so make sure to write a high number because you can't negotiate after that. Well he said I was hired, and gave me an address and time that I had to go take a drug test, and once the results from that came back I was working within a week.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Best Buy (Toledo, OH) in Apr 2014

      Interview

      Quick phone interview then an in person interview with the geek squad manager. Supposed to be a follow up with the store manager after that. The geek squad manager was either very misleading or the position was filled before I got my "almost guaranteed" follow up interview. It's a very quick, formal first interview in the store break room. The staff was very nice.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How have you challenged yourself in the past and how did you solve it?
