sn00pie Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 What should I expect from the 3rd interview? What kind of questions will I be asked? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregb0b Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 There used to be a website called bestbuysucks.com or something where it showed the dislikes and work environment from best buy employees. I remember reading it a few years back... I hope you have a totally opposite experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn00pie Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 Thanks! Yeah that website doesn't work. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn00pie Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 I got the job, I will be selling computers! BTW what kind of dress shoes do I need? Laces or non laces? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iZoom Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 You got problems if people are focusing on your shoes at Best Buy. I've seen nice shoes and I've also seen crummy sneakers there, too. I think whatever is most comfortable for you should be what you wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cormier6083 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Heres a tip for a good interview. Say to yourself "God, isn't it horrible enough that I have to get a job at Worst Buy, much less get interviewed by some fat slob? This is a huge imposition, but whatever I can do to make this place better." and you'll do fine. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottomTicket Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I am also interviewing for Best Buy but with the Geek Squad, I am well adept at computer repair and adding software and removing spyware etc.... but I don't have any certifaction i.e A+ Has anyone taken the CIATA or Geek Squad Interview Test should I be worried? I am not asking for the answers just a general idea of what is on the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpu killer Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 How did you get your foot in the door? I've heard it's near impossible to actually get a job at Best Buy, and that the online app is useless :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard it's near impossible to actually get a job at Best Buy, and that the online app is useless :/ I did the online app then went to the store with a copy of my resume and told them I just filled out the online app and wanted to drop off my resume which had more detail and put a face with the name.

sn00pie Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 My interview wasn't for Geek Squad, but as far as I know as long as you know your hardware/software and how to trouble shoot easy Windows problems they'll hire you. Just make sure you dress up to all your interviews, if you don't, you probably won't get hired. ;) I applied via the online application system too and was called in for an interview few days after that. :yes: My interviewer was very nice and I breezed through and was hired by the GM.

Circaflex Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 just a fyi, sell them your selling ability if you want geeksquad. Worked there for over a year now and my initial interview they put me in PCHO, i was more certified than any other "agent" there but i was stuck in PCHO, they want a salesman first than a tech.

sn00pie Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Yeah, Circaflex is correct. All GS members are salespersons first and foremost. As far as hiring goes since its holiday season, as long as you do not do something overly incorrect, you should get the job. They are hiring like crazy at this time of the year, as with most retailers :yes: You have to score a certain % on the online test in order for them to interview you or call you for an interview. If your under that % you will not even be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpu killer Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 on the test have to STRONGLY_(dis)agree And why do you say that? I thought those tests were just consistency tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
