I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Best Buy (Beaumont, CA) in Oct 2011
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.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Best Buy (Knoxville, TN) in Dec 2008
Interview
Very unorganized interview. Held in the crowded breakroom while other employees were on break! All questions where scripted straigt from an interview guide. Typical questions. Second interview was a group interview in the same room. Same situation alot of scripted questions with no real organization.
