I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Kitchener, ON) in Sept 2024
Interview
You will meet with a team lead onsite who will ask you a series of questions about your schedule, communication skills, and conflict resolution skills. I was applying for a part-time role and can only assume I didn't get the job because I was not available enough, but I can't say for certain since the store has no public contact info to ask for feedback from. No response when I replied via the rejection email either. The poor communication for feedback afterwards is what I disapprove of.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to handle a difficult customer.
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.
