Interview
I applied to Best Buy in Tinley Park, IL online a few weeks ago. A lady from the HR department from that particular store phone me back. She asked a few questions and told me I should come in a few days after for an interview with the store manager after our phone intake was finished. Upon getting to the store I waited about 20 minutes and a substitute for the manager, an "associate", interviewed me in the Magnolia room. He was polite, personable, knowledgeable, and answered anything I had to ask. He asked me a series of nine questions which I answered. I was then told I would be contacted to come bak to see the GM if I was selected for the next round of interviews.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Name a time when I helped someone in lieu of helping myself.
It was not too long and was a good process. They asked me about eight questions so that was not bad at all. Just make sure you act professionally and be positive throughout the process is what’s most important of all.

Interview
Applied for the job online, then immediately got an email to do a video interview within 5 days. There is no interviewer, it's just you responding to the questions on the screen as it records you. It gives you a moment to practice if you want. There are 8 questions. You have 10 seconds to read the question, then 2 minutes to respond. At least you can click the button if you want to continue, giving you time to think or take a breather before you answer the next question.

Interview
It was pretty easy with the integration of the video interview. I was able to get it done in about 15 to 20 minutes at the most which I thought was pretty impressive.
