Interview
Uninspiring and poorly scripted interview process with HR rep, GM of store and an Operations Assistant Manager. I thought Best Buy would be in the ultra-aggressive business format mode, with an interview panel in white cotton shirts with ties, but this was not the case. I was dressed in a nice suit and tie, and they had on blue jeans and old sweaters (with heavy visible tattoos showing). During the interview process I thought everything was too informal and very laid-back, and the questions were very, "What would you do in this situation?" Quite frankly, I think they were looking for ideas and suggestion that they could employ in their own stores! I think my ideas and suggestions probably seemed too aggressive and "over the top" for them. If you are applying for a management job with Best Buy my advice would be to "dumb-it-down" a bit.

Interview
I applied online, and received a call back within an hour. The recruiter was very informative, personable, and helpful. She asked me several questions, and then offered to answer any questions I had. She gave me detailed info regarding when and how she would get back to me. She followed through the next week to let me know that I didn't get the position, but that I would be considered for several future positions.
