I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy in Sep 2010
Interview
I applied online via their website in the fall. About a month later I received a phone call from someone in charge of hiring. I found out later that this was technically my "phone interview", but it was much more of just a quick question and answer about my application and such. From there, I went in to interview with one of the managers. I got asked basic questions about ethics, past experiences and so on. At the end of that interview I was asked to come back for a final interview with a store manager. I came back for this interview and answered quite a few more of the same types of basic interview questions. At the end of the interview, I received the official job offer. I declined to accept it at that time though, and called back the next day to do so. After that, I had to complete a drug test within maybe 48 hours of accepting. After that, I had the job

Question 1
When was there a time when you had the opportunity to steal something, but decided not too?
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.
