I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Best Buy (Houston, TX) in Aug 2011
Interview
Worst interview ever!! The interview was placed a few weeks after I applied. The interview was scheduled for 2 pm and I came 15 minutes early. I was waiting to be interviewed for a really long time! the Interview happened around 2:40. Then the manager took me to some dark room all the way in the back of the store to "not get distracted". I felt like I was being interrogated or something. There was only one light which barely lit the room. After that, the interviewer started asking me questions and when he got to the work experience part, it had someone else's work experience which screwed up the whole thing. After that, he said if they don't call within 24-48 hours, I didn't get the job. I'm a really patient person who doesn't get angry often, but this made me both impatient and angry! Worst experience!

Interview
Well they ask you a series of questions about how you are with people and dealing with them in various circumstances. The Bottom line is that they are looking for someone who is a TEAM player, that's why they ask about team sports and how to deal with an upset team mate etc. They will also ask you about stealing, this is the #1 way they loose money. If they ask the question "what would you do if your employee stole from you" then you say "I would fire them" and if they ask "what would you do if you saw a fellow employee steal even if they said they'd pay later?" then you say "I would notify you right away describable. Once they see that you are reliable, you want to grow in a career, and that you are good with people and have good people skills, you're in!
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Have you had any time where a team mate on your team was upset with you? How did you deal with it?

Interview
I applied to the job on Monday. The next day I received a phone call asking if I may do a phone interview. After the interview, I was asked if I could come in for a second interview. We went over my resume and they asked me a bunch of questions. After that interview on Wednesday, I was called 3 hours later to set up a third and final interview. They asked the same questions as the second interview. Then asked me which departments I had a prior knowledge in. I was handed a drug screen test and told to go to the testing site within 48 hours.
It is now been over a week and I have not heard anything from the company in regards to my cleared background check and drug panel.
