The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (West Lebanon, NH) in May 2012
Interview
Took approximately two weeks to schedule the first interview with one of the managers. Showed up 20 minutes early, waited well over an hour to hear that the interview had to be rescheduled. Another two weeks later...I finally had an interview that required unnecessarily extensive paperwork that covered knowledge about products that I wouldn't be selling. That was followed by a series of questions and an immediate job offer, but for not what was originally advertised.

Question 1
Can you think of a time when you had to work in a team to overcome an obstacle?
They did a virtual interview with a third party. They asked me around 8 questions with about 2 mintues to anwser them with 10 second to think of a response. Then I got texted from a hiring manager to schedule an in person interview.

Question 1
If you had a list of tasks given to you in the morning but it slipped your mind until the last 10 minutes of your shift. These tasks MUST be done by the end of the day. How would you approach the situation.
Interview process is fully online and conducted through video interviews. It's a little dehumanizing, not in a bad sense, but I believe using video for interviews makes it difficult to gauge what the job is going to be like.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Best Buy in Oct 2025
Interview
The best way to describe the interview is to ask if you’re willing to be more of a salesperson. Since the interview questions revolve around your ability to talk to customers, it’s important to understand that all these questions are crucial in determining whether you can sell Best Buy credit cards.
