I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Chula Vista, CA) in October 2017.

Interview

It's different for every store but the questions are kinda similar mostly they want to know your experiences and how you would act in certain situations in a workplace, if you have a not interested or not energetic manager it can be a little tense and awkward, they only really care about three things, 1. Availability how much and when can you work. 2. your knowledge going in already. 3. For sales positions how confident and easy going you are cause your job is talking.

Be confident know your stuff going in and tell them what they want to here, your GM is really who you want to impress since he makes all the decisions.

Dress nicely. They appreciate it.There are three interviews. First, the supervisor over the department that you are applying for, then the manager over that department, and then the general manager over the entire store. After each interview, if they are no longer interested in hiring you, you will not have the second or third interview.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Dublin, GA) in September 2018.

Interview

Swift, insightful, and pleasant. After Applying for the same position several times, I was called in for an interview. The interview lasted approximately 40 minutes. We talked about the position, the future of the company and the type of technology I'll be using. There was some brief banter and then we talked about my experience. Afterwards the manager explained what they planned to do regarding the department moving forward.

I was told they had to review and interview several other applicants and they would call me once they finished. A week or so later I was called and given an offer. The offer consisted of signing a digital offer sheet, background check application, and taking a drug screen. The orientation was the following week.

the interview process was pretty good they ask you about yourself, what you would you want from this company, what would you bring to this company.

Interview

Applied online on August 31 2010. Got a call from one of the managers 1 week later but missed it. Had to play phone tag until Friday September 10. The manager saw that I applied for a cashier or customer service position but saw on my application that I am majoring in Information Technology. She asked if I'd like to work in computer sales instead. I said sure. She scheduled me for an interview Sunday September 12 with a department manager (second interview). I was very nervous during this interview but I came dressed up and was half an hour early which the interviewer appreciated. (The other applicant didn't even show up!) Like I said, I was very nervous and didn't think I did well. I got a call for the final (third) interview on Wednesday September 15. I was scheduled to be interviewed the next day, Thursday September 16. The General Manager and the Hiring Manager were present. After this interview I was offered the job on the spot.
