      Sales Associate Interview

      30 May 2012
      Anonymous employee
      Gilbert, AZ
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Best Buy (Gilbert, AZ) in May 2012

      Interview

      I applied online on May 25th. However, I also walked personally into the store and spoke to a supervisor who wrote down my name and said he'd put have them check out my application. The next day I received a call from a sales associate who set me up for an interview on the 29th. I dressed up in a suit and tie, went in for my first interview; I was asked about 8 questions during this, ranging from 'Why do you want to work at Best Buy?" to "How would you convince a customer to purchase a product here when they could go home and buy it on Amazon for cheaper?" Made small talk during the interview, was pushed into the second interview 5 minutes later, and then told to come back an hour later for the third interview. Was asked the same general questions in each interview, it was relatively easy and the interviewers were all very friendly! Some tips: ~Lack of retail experience will not stand in the way of you getting this job. They are clearly looking for personality in the interview process, and spoke to me about that as well. ~Don't skimp on dressing up nicely. Many of the guys who I saw come in weren't dressed up, however myself and all those that were came in for second interviews. ~Be prepared for many questions about how you would deal with customers in different situations. ~They ask the typical interview questions as well, such as "Describe a situation in which you have gone above and beyond for someone else?" and "What would you do if you saw an associate stealing?"

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Many customers come in here to scape out products, then go home to purchase them online. How would you convince a customer to purchase a product here while they are in the store, rather than purchasing it online from another company?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      How would you handle a large group of customers asking questions at one time?

      It was not too long and was a good process. They asked me about eight questions so that was not bad at all. Just make sure you act professionally and be positive throughout the process is what’s most important of all.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Best Buy in Feb 2026

      Interview

      Applied for the job online, then immediately got an email to do a video interview within 5 days. There is no interviewer, it's just you responding to the questions on the screen as it records you. It gives you a moment to practice if you want. There are 8 questions. You have 10 seconds to read the question, then 2 minutes to respond. At least you can click the button if you want to continue, giving you time to think or take a breather before you answer the next question.
