I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Best Buy in Sep 2011
Interview
Clear job spec enabled preparation for a competency based interview. Friendly approach and good listening by panel members helped me deal with the nerves. I thought it went pretty well, did not understand why I wasn't offered the job. The feedback was ambiguous and did not help understand my shortcomings.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You are working on high profile presentation for directors when a team member seeks your help and advice urgently. How would you prioritise ?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Best Buy (Astoria, NY) in Oct 2011
Interview
From my experiences in retail, the interview process is based on communication skills, despite the fact that I am a holder of a Bachelor of Science Degree, the concern was my ability to sale. It was asked of me to give examples of my prior employers, in situations of selling and the ability to communicate with the customer. It was also explained that the position I originally needed was not available to me until I prove my ability, that includes full-time position.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Richfield, MN) in Feb 2011
Interview
Interviewed with 4 Best Buy employees within the department I was applying for. All questions are behavioral based. I would keep in mind that you will be working in teams at Best Buy so emphasizing how you work as a team player is important. I thought the communications with the company was great, they were very responsive and notified candidates within the time they stated.
