Best Buy Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Best Buy (Johnson City, TN) in September 2017.

Interview

It was a quick phone screen where they got an idea of what kind of hours you're looking for and when to schedule an interview. Then you schedule one interview with HR and then if you move forward, one with the general manager. The next day or so you get a job offer e-mail. It was quick about 3 days tops.

Interview

Quick, but I could tell the Hiring Manager wasn't interested in me as soon as I took a seat.
He only asked a few questions. There were 2 people who interviewed before me, so his decision was laready made.

Interview

There is always two interviews you will go in for your first one and if you do well they will push you to the GM interview they will ask questions about your personal experiences at other jobs or in your life that you have overcame and questions about how you handled a difficult situation with someone or a task and was able to help the customer or overcome the task to complete it don't expect to be in the interview long and always have a good answer nothing short or pause for a long time thinking of an answer. If hired there will be about 2 weeks of learning about technology and everything new you will not be thrown on the sales floor by yourself until they know you are comfortable with selling products. Good luck!!

Interview

I was called up asked questions and told I would get a call back if they were looking to go forward. I never received a proper in person interview which is kind of weird, that BestBuy needs a new HR team.

Interview

applied to 4 BB stores online, got called by 2 of them, one person in HR asked me a series of questions over the phone and said I had no experience. She even said she'll give it to the manager to review but more then likely it wont go through. The other person in another BB from HR called me to set up an interview. During the Interview day I left 1hr and 30 min early thinking that's plenty of time. Nope the stupid big accident making me 2 hrs and 30 min late. I agree it is still considered my fault for being late but when you call the store 6 times with a 15 min waiting period for each call + 3 calls to the HR to notify them about the accident no one picked up. I was so shocked. Got there and they still went ahead with the interview which was nice of them even though i knew i was not going to be processed after that day. The interview was like everyone else said on this site, asking more about retail questions then the technical aspects. They only asked one technical question lol (which I will mention below). The manager even said the position was not an entry level position even though the job description said "entry level". He went on to say that to get into that position without experience was to start as a computer sales associate, lol (mind you, you have to work 6 months to even get noticed after that it's not a 100% promotion to the position in geek squad). After that I got all 4 rejection emails. Forgot to say I have a Bachelors degree in computer network security and certs.

Interview

I applied for the position on the 2nd of September and received a call from one of the managers on the 8th of September which was my phone interview. The following Monday, I then went in for my face to face interview with the front end supervisor where she informed me to look out for a call for interview with the GM. I had that interview the very next day and received an offer on the spot. Very easy and everyone was so polite and bubbly, which made me less nervous.

Interview

Standard corporation retail style interview, interviewer poorly trained; I lead the interview. People walked into room time and time again, even if with a note on the door. Overall the most unprofessional interview I have ever been to. Be careful to not know more then interviewer as that will keep you from getting the job, as interviewer is afraid you could replace them.

I applied online. I interviewed at Best Buy (Muskegon, MI) in September 2017.

Interview

It was a panel interview, though the panel members threw me off a bit. I expected strictly members of management/HR in such a panel, but it ended up being two managers and two warehouse associates. While I do think it's fantastic that the warehouse associates would be given a say on who their new boss would be, their inclusion in the interview completely blindsided me. I've never seen or heard of associates being part of the interview process like that. As a result, I definitely bumbled the interview. I wasn't sure how influential they would be in the decision and thus was treading too carefully on my answers as try to balance impressing them and the managers at the same time, but clearly failed on both fronts as a result. A little notice on this format would have gone a long way I think with my chances... I used Glass Door to prepare, but didn't see other instances of this format for interviews, so I'm guessing it can differ by individual store location.

Anyway, the GM claimed they were looking to make a decision that day after a couple more interviews and give a call that night. Never got a call, and still no declined email.

Questions were typical retail related situational questions ("Describe a time that...").
