Interviewed Feb 2012 in Raleigh, NC (took 1 week)

I was actually offered the interview over the phone. I scheduled a day and time that worked best for me and them to meet with the Geek Squad department manager. The day of the interview consisted of me walking in and sitting for about 15 minutes in the home theater department waiting to be interviewed. The guy who interviewed me was laid back and very chill and just asked a few questions regarding my previous work experience, what I am currently doing, working on a team, and etc. Pretty much the questions were common sense and sell yourself. After that he asked told me they do not generally start people off with Geek Squad, instead, you have to work your way up. He told me to come back in within two days to for a second interview with the general manager. The general manager was generally nice but just seemed like a typical jerk right off the bat when he started asking me basic questions pertaining to my schedule and my current job. He did like what I had to say about myself during the interview when it came to questions like customer service.

Reason for Declining

Instead of offering me the Geek Squad job I applied for and instead of offering me the job in the electronics department like I hoped as a second option, he offered me an stocking inventory position. That was definitely not what I had in mind.

Other Details

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Raleigh, NC (took 3 days)

I filled out the application online and about 3 days later I got called in for an interview. During the interview the manager asked some pretty tough questions about sales and retail. After we were finished she told me that I seemed more like customer service and asked me to fill out an application for a cashier or customer service position and she would let that interview count towards that and then I could get hired. I said ok, but then I thought about how much of a nightmare being a cashier at Best Buy would be during the holidays so I didn't go any further with the process.
