Best Buy Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Interviewed with the supervisor, then the manager of the department, and finally the Manager for a job offer. Rather simple, so long as you were engaged and showing passion, you should be ok.

Negotiation Details – Very little negotiation. Depends on the manger if they will even tolerate it.

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 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.

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 Applied online, then got a call to come in for an interview and immediately skip first interview and go straight to the second. Had a interview with one manager, then my final interview was a few days later with the General Manager. I was offered the job on the spot.

Interview Details Very long process with little to no follow up

Interview Details After applying online I got a phone interview 3 weeks later. The first interview the cashier supervisor interviews you and gets to know you. The next day they called me for the second interview this time the sales supervisor made the interview. Again the next day they called me for the 3rd interview with the GM. On the last one the GM asks you if you saw a coworker stealing a candy bar. You have to make sure you tell them that you would fire them and call the police, this is the make or break question. At the end of the interview the GM offered me the job and told me I need to do a drug test which is just a urine sample, and they also do a background check. 3 days later I was called to go to an orientation on the following day.

Negotiation Details – I told them I'll be fine with $8/hr but the GM told me they believe in paying more so they offered me $10/hr which for me was great for a cashier position.
