Best Buy Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Was asked about former employers, for how long I'd been at those companies and why I was applying for the job. Guy I talked to seemed nice enough and gave me information about Best buy

Interview Details First went through a phone interview screening, mainly asked about difficulty and multitasking abilities. Make sure you do not say you will serve one customer at a time. The next phase is a 1 on 1 with a manager or supervisor, they mainly question your integrity, make sure you always say stealing is wrong and you would report all thefts.

Negotiation Details – Asked me what type of wage I was looking for, depending on department, mine was computers, you can ask for something like 12 per hour.

Interview Details Contacted by phone, after an in-person resume hand in. Was asked various questions and qualifications.
Given a few weeks for the group interview process.
Interview just asking basic questions, tour of building, didn't seem much care for employees.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation was needed, pay wasn't the best, but needed a job.

Interview Details No technical questions asked
No indication on what I would work on there
No pre interview over the phone
HR was not even involved.

Very unprofessional company

Interview Details A quick phone interview got me to the in person interview which was the very next day. I showed up early, and was looked at strangely. I thought it was the usual to show up 15 minutes before the interview.
First, I was given a more in depth review of the position, then had two people interview me before being taken to the head manager for another interview. The questions were simple, and basically guided. They knew the answers they wanted, and gave them to me in their tone or in their words. It was a simple enough interview and everyone was nice enough. The process laster about an hour and a half.

Interview Details Best Buy does not seem to have hiring the best applicant for the position in mind, at least in my case. I am 55, have 30 years of excellent retail sales and management skills and was simply looking to sell a passion of mine; high end audio equipment in the Magnolia Room. The first interview was with a substitute for the store manager. He was cold but efficient and asked pertinent questions. I stressed my strengths and skill. I also spoke of my salary needs and was told that it is out of line for their structure. I agreed to aquiesce. I offered no resistance. I received a call for a second interview and returned to speak with a second in charge of the Tinley Park, Il store. That went fine as well. It was with the second in charge of the store; it seems the manager was perpetually on vacation? Hard to say really. I never heard back from them. I was truly shocked. It seems highly unlikely someone would be more prepared to roll up their sleeves and give great service than me.

Interview Details submitted application online, received a call 3 weeks later spoke with a manager & set up an interview. Asked me basic questions regarding my experience & knowledge of their products. Afterward, the manager explained I would need to set up a second interview with the supervisor of customer service & if all went well then I would meet with the store manage afterward. Basic interview questions & was asked to describe myself & work ethic.

Negotiation Details – I was asked what I would like to be paid and said $9/hr to be ambitious, but was explained without prior sales/retail experience the position starts off at $8/hr

Interview Details They asked me a few questions, mostly pertaining to stealing. I guess they have some sort of problem with that. I was told that it was a 3 step process, and that I was on the first step. If I got to the second step, I'd interview with a manager. The third step was interviewing with the owner.

Interview Details Panel interview with multiple General managers including the store you are applying towards. You will be asked multiple questions about your experience, how you react to problems, how you know the business and how your experience applies towards the position.

Negotiation Details – I didn't try to negotiate, but I've heard it doesn't ever work.
