I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Best Buy in Feb 2017
Interview
waiting period as it was the group interview with another 5 candidates, was easy and understandable, and people can have an idea whom they are the ones they are asking more than others
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Best Buy (Tustin, CA) in Dec 2020
Interview
Reference by another sales associate. Phone call for personality review and back ground check to ensure correct information. Extremely informal interview. Followed up by working on the floor during probationary period before offer.
Easy interview. They do see if your willing to stay with the company long term. Typical retail job. Nothing special but you learn how to be a people person which is good for future careers
