I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2012
Interview
I got a call about 2 weeks after I put in my application. FIrst interview was over the phone where the lady went over my availability, three departments i would work at, and some other thing. 2nd interview was a few days after and she asked me the same questions shown here mostly all about customer service and she told me should call in 3-4 days. A week later the manager called me to come in the next day for another interview, again, all questions are posted here which helped a lot!! He told me he would call in 3-4 days and he called within the hour to come in to interview with someone else. At this point you get excited thinking you got the job. I came in for the 4th interview and another manager went through the same application as the other two and she told me to try to sell her a box of tissues. It all went well and she told me she would call in 3-4 days. I was furious when I left, was I applying to be commander in chief? The 5th interview was with the GM, he asked me about what I would do if a coworker was stealing etc. He offered me a job at 8.25. This was a huge waste of my time.
Waited for about ten minutes and then had a short interview. They asked basic questions about how I would deal with customers and my knowledge on technology. Overall I would say that it was a pretty fair and ordinary interview.

Interview
They called me in for two interviews.
One with a supervisor then the final with the store’s general manager. If the general manger approves of you, then they offer you the job in the spot.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give an example of one time you’ve ever went above and beyond for someone, even if it seemed unreasonable .
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!!
