I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Best Buy (Chicago, IL)
Interview
I received a phone call to schedule an interview from an employee (not a manager or a supervisor). I was told in the phone call that I had received an in person interview. The first interview was with the front end lead. This interview seemed easier than my second interview. I was called back a second time for a second interview with the general manager. This second interview seemed like it was slightly shorter than my first in person interview but it was more stressful because it was with the general manager. I know sometimes Best Buy has job fairs and it may be easier to get a position if you attend a job fair, which are usually around the holidays. Also, make sure that you dress business casual even though it is not really a business-y job. I know applicants who were not considered because they wore jeans.

Question 1
What would you do if you were sick and could not come into work?
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.
