The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Culver City, CA) in Sep 2010
Interview
The tests are given at the same time you are signing up for the job. If you pass the test, they (Best Buy) will give you a call. The phone interview was just some random questions; really easy. There was three interviews; each one was harder then the next. (1st was group, 2nd supervisor & 3rd was the general manger) The whole time I was smiling and pretending to be confident & after weeks of thinking I've failed; I received the job. Please please PLEASE do not use your cell phone at any time while waiting for your interview. (The drug tests comes after they offer you the job)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
(Group question) Tell me why should I choose you over him/her?
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Best Buy (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2011
Interview
It start out as an online application where they have a series of questions regarding personality as well as intelligence. I pass that (according to the phone interview). Then a phone interview that woke me up which I also passed. She scheduled me for a 1:1 interview the next day at 3:00 PM I was 15 minutes early, and the manager had his free time so we started around 2:50PM and the interview lasted for a good 30 or so minutes. Aside from that though, I handed him my resume which he LITERALLY set aside and didn't even bother looking at it and just went on with the interview. I've never held a job, and he was asking me about dealing with customers with "bad manners" and how I cope with it. I relate that with my school/volunteer experience however so it was all good. The bad thing is that the interviewer was a little rude. He had several phone calls that he answered as well as text messages. Like the most tips people give to "give him a nice eye contact" made no sense at all since he couldn't even give ME an eye contact! his eyes was literally everywhere. At the end I ask if when they would give me a call back and they said that around 2-3 days which, in my opinion, a good GET THE HELL OUT OF MY OFFICE.
