      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.

      Positive experience

      Application

      I interviewed at Best Buy

      Interview

      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!!
