Interviewed Sep 2010 in Vancouver, BC (Canada) (took 1 week)
Applied online through Best Buy Canada's Career page. On career page had to do a personality and ethics test. Received a phone call about a week later asking if I'm available for an in person interview. Interview was very basic with strengths, weaknesses, questions about theft and how I would react. Be ethical.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Burnaby, BC (Canada) (took a day)
Open house call for Seasonal team via CL post
no specifics of qualifications really given possibly only high school diploma and some retail experience
interviewed done by a team on a first come first served basis
overheard one young interviewer telling an older candidate that the nature of that job did not favor women, i guess he was referring to merchandising
during interview manager really wanted to know "why best buy"
also asked about background knowledge of bb including its affiliation with future shop
went through resume
asked about weaknesses
manager did not divulge nature of job, duration or pay rate
upon more probing manager was insistent on the ENERGY in the place
little interview protocal or etiquette, definitely a screeening interview even though manager stated that it was a first and second interview combined
other questions: how do you deal with stress?

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Burnaby, BC (Canada) (took 2 weeks)
I first received a phone call from the HR representative. This phone call was a pre-screen interview. Afterward our conversation she deemed I would be a good candidate to come in for a 1 to 1 interview with one of the senior managers. I went into the corporate office one week later and had a very straightforward interview which lasted one hour. The questions were aimed at determining my competency and skill level. I got along well with the interviewer. I was asked to hand in a mini-project which would demonstrate my abilities. After submitting that assignment, I received another phone call to come in again to meet with the National Manager. That interview took place about a week later, but didn't seem to go as well. The interviewer suggested that I was not cut out for the position. So, I assumed that was the end of any opportunity. However, a couple of weeks later I received a voicemail from the HR representative telling me that they were still in the process of making a decision and that I was still in "the mix" and that she would let me know of the next steps as the process went on. It's been about a month since that voicemail and I haven't heard anything back.

Interviewed Oct 2008 in Burnaby, BC (Canada) (took 1 week)
You first have to apply online through their website. You have to answer a series of multiple choice questions about whether you strongly agree or strongly disagree about such and such a statement. If you don't pick the right ones, you don't get called for a phone interview. You can reapply 1 month later. During phone interview, they ask you why you want to apply here and some other personal questions. At the end they will set a date for an interview with the supervisor of the department your applying for. During that interview, they give you a scene and you state what you would do. Its either a hit or miss for this. At the end of this session, they will either turn you down or schedule a final interview with the general manager. During interview with the general manager, he or she will ask a basic series of questions regarding your loyalty. Will you call this person out if they stole something as in expensive as a chocolate bar and such and such. Answer yes and shake hands. Your hired. They ask you whether XX dollars per hour is fair to you. At this point you can negotiate for higher if your older job pays more or your over qualified and etc. Next you do legal paper work and thats it.

Interviewed May 2010 in Burnaby, BC (Canada) (took 3 weeks)
I applied online for position and about 2 months later received a call to come in for an interview. I interviewed with 2 staff members-a senior staff member and a department supervisor. I was then called back about 2 weeks later to be interviewed by a department manager. The candidates for the position was narrowed down to three. The next morning, I was called back to come in and meet the department manager again and the senior department manager who was to make the hiring decision. The interview was positive and quite casual. They asked typical interview questions about background, qualifications. They also gave me more information about the job description. The overall work culture seems upbeat and casual. It seems that people have fun working there.
