I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Best Buy (Raleigh, NC) in Aug 2010
Interview
I had an online submission followed up by an initial phone interview. Then I had an interview with the manager. Final interview was a "interview" with the GM.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
If you were to go back in time and explain a cell phone how would you?
Typically, Best Buy has three stages for their interview process, screening over the phone, in-store supervisor or manager interview, and a final interview with the general manager of the store.
Easy questions like "what would you do if a coworker was stealing from the company?". Managers were very nice and easy to talk to. Overall good experience and simple for a college student to apply.
I would say that knowing how mobile phones tie into daily life will help you frame your mind for the interview. Also good to know the different ways phone plans work.
