Best Buy Seasonal Sales Associate Interview

Posted Feb 3, 2013

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Portage, MI Oct 2012 – Reviewed Feb 3, 2013

Interview Details – Applying online begins the process. There's an online test that begins weeding out personalities that don't fit into a predefined category. If you pass, you'll receive a follow up phone call (how long depends on how desperate they are for workers). After that there's a short meeting with an Assistant manager (sometimes you can be hired directly from this interview). And finally you'll meet with the store manager. If offered the job you will be required to pass a drug test and criminal background check.

This process varies depending on what time of the year it is. If its near the fall holidays, expect the process to be very quick.

Interview Question – Describe the worst experience you've had with a customer and how you resolved that issue. What did you learn and how would you do things differently?   View Answer

Negotiation Details – For a seasonal worker there is no negotiation.

Other Details - I applied online and the process took 1 week.
