      Sales Associate Interview

      Aug 30, 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Best Buy in Oct 2010

      Interview

      Was hired as the result of a mass job fair to find seasonal hires for Black Friday and Christmas season; originally wanted a stock/merchandising position but ended up as a sales associate. I had been calling the store for about two weeks and was continuously told to call back later when the hiring manager was available; an associate who answered the phone one day finally let me know about an upcoming job fair that I could come to instead. Arrived, had to confirm that I had already applied online, and sat around for 3 to 4 hours before someone spoke with me. They then sent me on my way and said someone would call me the next day. After not hearing from them I called them back and got an interview with the head of stocking and merchandising. A day or two later the store called me and said I could move on to the next phase of the application process, and thus I interviewed with the general manager, who admitted he did not see me as a stocking associate. I said I had some experience with computers and was then hired as a computer sales associate. Wasn't brought in for my first paid day (orientation) until three weeks later after being told I'd only have to wait two weeks.

      Application

      I interviewed at Best Buy (Rochester, MI)

      Interview

      It was not too long and was a good process. They asked me about eight questions so that was not bad at all. Just make sure you act professionally and be positive throughout the process is what’s most important of all.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Best Buy in Feb 2026

      Interview

      Applied for the job online, then immediately got an email to do a video interview within 5 days. There is no interviewer, it's just you responding to the questions on the screen as it records you. It gives you a moment to practice if you want. There are 8 questions. You have 10 seconds to read the question, then 2 minutes to respond. At least you can click the button if you want to continue, giving you time to think or take a breather before you answer the next question.
