I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Best Buy (Beaverton, OR) in Jul 2009
Interview
A week or more after applying online, I recieved a phone call that consisted of a very short phone "interview". The only questions I can remember being asked were "Why do you want to work for Best Buy?" and "What electronics are you interested in? What dept. would you want to work in?" After that, they scheduled me an interview for a later date.
I arrived to the interview. I suggest dressing nicely, but at this store, they'll hire almost anyone. Eventually I was greeted by my first interviewer and sat down in their meeting office in the back of the store. I was asked some scenario questions, asked why I wanted to work there, and my favorite, "How would you describe good customer service?" He was grumpy and told me they'd call me if I qualified for a second interview.
They called me again a day or so later for the last interview (geez). I showed up and had a short interview with the General Manager, who asked me a lot of repeat questions. He then offered me a job.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Best Buy in Feb 2011
Interview
I went into the interview fully prepared. Through the interview process, the panel looked as though they were interested in what I had to say but at the same time looked disengaged due to the favoritism of knowing who they already wanted for the role
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Best Buy (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2011
Interview
Too much networking, and has no respect to talents. Especially when it comes to Best Buy Mobile Manager (quasi-supervisor) position. The District manager is totaly bias, and has been known for it. But then again, it is not how good you are, but rather who do you know.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They like to ask if there is a situation if you have to deal with a unhappy customer or if you have to go out of the way to solve a problem which you had create.
