Interviewed Nov 2011 in San Pedro, CA (took 1 week)
Did not meet in a office, instead had to sit with other applicants in the middle of an aisle, while in the way of customers shopping. They did not seem organized, interviewer asked me for a pen, asked me to repeat my name twice to write it down. He checked his phone, did not seem to care what my answers were, and when I asked questions about the positions started talking all about himself. I was VERY disappointed.

Reason for Declining

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Westminster, CA (took 1+ week)
This was my first ever scheduled job interview. I applied online and it took maybe half an hour for me to complete. It took a few days for a woman to call me schedule an interview. The interview itself was based heavily on STAR based questions. "Tell me a time when..." The interviewer was a woman and was very friendly and attentive during the interview. She asked probably five questions, more or less.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Culver City, CA (took 3 weeks)
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)

Interviewed Jun 2011 in West Covina, CA (took 2 months)
I was first contacted by someone at 2:45 and they wanted to know if I could come in for an interview at 4! No planning on their part. I made an appt for later in the week. The store manager that saw me didn't even look at me in the face while interviewing. The interview went okay and it was left open. The manager said that he was going to get back to me because he was going to check into some possibilities. He was looking for part time help and I have management experience. He never called. I left numerous messages for him and got no response. I just think that companies should call and say thank you but no thank you and not tell people they are going to do something and not follow through. Not a good experience.

Pretty straight forward. They just want to get to know you. See if you've had any previous sales experience and If you have the drive to move up.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Northridge, CA (took a day)
Received a call for an interview about an hour after completing my application (seriously, no joke). went in the following day for my 1:1 interview. i originally applied for a cashier position but after speaking to my interviewer (hiring coordinator), he thought i would make a great addition to the Media department. then he introduced me to the General Mangier who continued my interview. he was a bit intimidating at first but nothing too scary. he began explaining what the position entailed and informed me what was expected of me on the job. i had no prior sales experience but my knowledge of media and video games seemed to be enough. i was also told to take a drug test with in 48 hours.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
there was no negotiation. the General mangier explained that $9 /hr was the starting wage for my position in this store. i later found out that the starting wage for a near by Best Buy was $10 /hr for my same position.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Cerritos, CA (took 1 week)
Fairly Straightforward Process. Hardest part is getting the call back after applying. Once you get the interview you are pretty much set as long as you provide the right answers.
2 or 3 interviews. Cant quite remember since it was a while ago.
1 with area manager in the store
1 with store manager
BIggest emphasis should be on loss prevention. Regardless if its the tinyest thing, say it stealing and terms for termination.
