I applied in-person. I interviewed at RadioShack (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
Brief interview followed by in store role-play. Skills review and personality quiz were short but efficient in determining aptitude. Experience with a cash register was tested by the store manager and a quiz on general electronics knowledge was also administered.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you handle an irate customer attempting to return goods without a receipt?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at RadioShack (Erwin, NC)
Interview
Didn't really ask questions or interview me. Just went on the word of my current manager. The process wasn't really am interview at all. It was more of a who knows who type of deal.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at RadioShack (New York, NY)
Interview
Walk in.
Made friends with one of the employees. After coming in for a while shopping for home theater products engaged in a conversation about how awesome radioshack was and in turn was asked if I wanted to work there. After careful consideration a said yes and asked what I needed to do. I was told to apply on Indeed in addition to the radioshack website because the manager received those applications directly. Also, be sure to know the store number for the location in which you wish to apply for.
The next day I had the employee/friend unofficially introduce me to the manager and mentioned that I was interested in working there.
I was followed up by receiving a phone call the next day and went in for a formal interview the day after that.
Before the week was over, I had a job offer. =)

Question 1
To show the manager how you would sell your phone if they were a customer.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at RadioShack (Monroe, LA)
Interview
The process is to apply on line. Follow up by applicant to the store manager of interest would be a good move by applicant to show interest and set up a job interview. Otherwise the next move is generally done by store and district manager by online review of applicant and phone interviews to
determine and setup personal interviews at the various stores that need employees.
Expect 2 Interviews. The First level interview will be with the store manager or a senior store manager from another store. The second interview will usually be with a district manager by phone.
The process usually takes about an hour.
Show strong conversation skills, be passionate in your presentation, show strong interest for the position applying for, explain caring for customers and the company's goals, and exhibit a great attitude will help to get hired.
