Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
I handed in my resume in person and received a phone call a few days later to schedule an interview. I was brought into a room with one other girl and we took turns answering questions. Were told that even if we did not get the job right now, they keep all interviewees on a list for seasonal workers.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 weeks)
After finding my resume online, the regional hiring manager contacted me via email in October. We set up a phone interview for the following week. I was prepared. He didn't call. The next week, he emailed to apologize and reschedule. Rescheduled phone interview time came and went, again no call. I left a polite phone message and email to let him know I was still interested but never heard back. I guess if this is how they treat the people that THEY RECRUIT, maybe I don't want to work for the company.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in West Palm Beach, FL (took a day)
BBBY interviews are pitiful. An in-store applicant usually has to wait at least 15min as mngrs "pass tjhe buck" on doing the interview. Questions asked, "what does customer service mean to you? are you ok on ladders? "

Negotiation? Not so much. I went to my direct supervisor about a "merit increase" and was told that they would have to take my request to the store manager. That was two months ago...

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
In order to actually get a job here you must turn in an application in store. They usually will call you in at a set time to arrange the interview but in my case they just spoke to me on the spot. The advice I give new people is that this company loves customer service oriented skills, not the basic "I am good with customers" (as opposed to some company hiring you on your really bad customer skills) but being real friendly and eager to help. Actually stopping to ask if a customer needs anything instead of flying by them and whispering hello. You can really scare them away like that cause they are going to think the store is haunted because they heard something, turned around and saw no one there.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 1 week)
Once I turned in my application, I immediately spoke with the Manager on Duty. They manager told me briefly about the systems and what is was like to work at BBB. He didn't ask any questions about me, but said someone would be in touch for a second interview. I got a phone call about a second interview and spoke with another manager. Again this manager didn't ask any questions of me, just spoke about the job.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
Typical interview, standardized questions from list. Was contacted by company after resume was viewed on job board. At interview found out job was for a different division of company than originally thought. Was told would hear back within 2 week period whether job offer or not. Did not receive any follow up until 1 month later, by regular mail. Was somewhat dismayed by contact experience.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 days)
Initial phone interview led to a face to face interview at one of the stores. Relatively easy interview. Make sure you did your research about the company before applying. They WILL ask you why you applied and why you are a great fit for the company. My interviewer wanted to know how I would merchandise the store. 1 thing to note. The posting for Store Manager isnt exactly for store manager. They dont direct hire store managers. They do directly hire Salaried Department Managers which from there you can advance up to a Store Manager. This was clarified at the end of my interview. At which time we discussed salary. Which I was informed that it was highly unlikely they were able to match my current salary.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Sunrise, FL (took 1 week)
Spoke with a "manager" as soon as I filled out the app. He said someone would call me. One week later I called the store and asked about the application. wAs told someone would call and they did. wENt in for a 1:1. And then was told I would need to return again to speak with the general manager. someone did call 1 week later, I went in and spoke with store manager. he then told me he would check my references and may call me again. A few days later I received a call to see if I was willing to start the next day.
