I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy in Mar 2010
Interview
I applied for a couple positions (cashier and sales associate) at two different BB locations that are pretty close to where I live. I never heard from one, and got a call a few days ago from the other. There was a pretty basic phone interview (why do you want to work here, availability) and the manager set up a one-on-one interview a couple days later. This interview consisted mainly of situational questions, like "Describe a time when this happened" Basically theyre trying to see how you will handle customers and your general demeanor while you work. The interview was pretty quick; it only took about 15 minutes. Afterwards, she set me up with another interview with the GM, which will be in a couple days. Im hoping this is a good sign.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you saw a coworker doing something wrong and how did you handle it?
Was not hard. Asked simple behavioural questions and wanted to grasp if I could handle high-pressured environments to be able to handle work on days such as Black Friday. Mostly just talked about my past experience in retail!
It wasn’t bad at all. It was just a few quick questions about my past experience and whether or not I would be able to work part or full time, stuff like that.
