The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Best Buy (West Palm Beach, FL) in Jun 2008
Interview
Had a recommendation. Went in and interviewed with one manager. Asked specific questions about what kind of improvements I had made in my current position at my current job at that time. Was offered the job and an hourly rate that they said I must keep confidential because it was more than the other supervisors were making.
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Best Buy in May 2008
Interview
Already had the associate in mind that they were hiring. Got the interview on the back end of the process. Was the top candidate until the other associate from different location applied. Was not told why I didn't get the job. Very unprofessional experience and have been with the company too long to be treated in such a manner. Make sure to make friends and buddies with managers and supervisors. Your performance and quality of work does not matter to most. At least at my location. I have heard some positive experiences from other stores though so this is based solely on the experience at my location. Seems to be changes coming around the corner though.
