I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Best Buy (New York, NY) in Apr 2009
Interview
Applied for the job position online on Best Buy's website. Received a call from an employee two days later asking me to schedule an interview with them. Upon arrival at the 23rd Street store in New York City, I found that the doors were closed shut as the store wasn't opened yet but the security guard let me in. Interview process was at best, abysmal. The interviewee paused multiple times to speak on the phone with others. Manager was incompetent when I spoke to him about the job description.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When did you first become interested in technology?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy in Aug 2010
Interview
This was probably the most extensive Interview process i went through. They really want the top 1% of the candidate pool. So i first applied online, YOU MUST pass the personality test to even qualify for the next process. (the employer's hiring person goes onto the computer and finds the ones that passed. its threee different bars, Green- good to go for next process, yellow-backup if green level candidates do not make it, and red- Failed and application is automatically deleted.) Then the hiring person makes the inital phone interview. They are usually instructed to pick 2 or maybe 3 out of a pool of 10. ( so make sure you do the best.) From there you go and have a 1-1 interview with the operations manager. He will ask you a series of general interview questions but you MUST answer them in an intelligent way otherwise they wont hire you because they feel you cannot perform or understand the weeks of training they put you through. If you pass thta you go to a 1-1 interview with your dept or you just go straight to the GM. From there the GM will ask a few very specific questions that he just comes up with. They ARE different each time. He takes your resume that you bring to both interviews and analyzes and asks questions from there. He will then give you a job offer. You can accept or decline. If you accept he will then read the, not fine print but you wouldnt have seen it, saying you must take a drug test and pass it within 24 hours or the offer is invalid. So they give you the paper work and you go get drug tested and wait for the phone call to ring asking you if you still want the job because you passed.
