Best Buy Interview

Ask when your break starts.

I don't know if I would ask anything specific, but make sure they are familiar with your list of demands.

Good luck!

"How many extended warranties do I have to sell in order to not get fired?"

Quote from jbloggs : "How many extended warranties do I have to sell in order to not get fired?"

Stapes tech support really stresses that :p

How Asian do I have to be to bang Amy Poehler from your Superbowl ad? [youtube.com]
..guaranteed you'll get the job.

Quote from kratzy : I think most people will have some curves in the middle part of the face, commonly called cheeks. I have never seen straight cheeks! So OP should be fine.

I've seen straight cheeks. It's also called noassatall disease. Common in Asian women.



A couple of questions to ask:

They don't drug test here, right?

Do you run a background check?

how long is my lunch break? how long until i can take vacation?

If they ask you to sell them any item, don't launch into what the other people here have advised you to do... That is feature focused selling and it's less effective than asking the customer questions about what their desired uses are. You could spend 5 minutes trying to sell me a pen because it's blue and made from aircraft grade plastics when all I care about is if it will write smoothly... Point being, you need to know why the customer is there and what they think they want before you even try to sell them on something. once you know that you can do all the up selling you want.

Ask him/her to PIITB?

I like that idea.

Second that.

Visit a BB store. Learn about every area of it. try to buy something in each area so you get a feel of how they get you to buy things. Look for BB online, learn everything you can about them, number if stores Etc. Dress as if you were going to work there & only say nice things about any previous employers.

Quote from Squilly : I got a call from Best Buy earlier today asking if I wanted to go in for an interview. Of course, I said yes. I have been in other interviews before, so I know the general gist of it. Main reason for posting this is when the interviewer asks at the end, "What questions do you have for me?" Obviously, it's there for a reason. Normally, I don't ask much. Suggestions? Like: How long have you been working here? Opportunities for advancement? Pay (should I?) etc.?

Oh, I had a really nice packet that I was given in a college class that went over questions you could ask during an interview.

One of mine, which was helpful, was "What would my day-to-day routine be?" or something along those lines. It was for a drafting job, so it was different, but it prompted the interviewer to take me out to the rest of the office and show me the desk, introduce me to people, and start talking about software. It opened up other things we could talk about, and was really nice!

So I would think about asking questions more along the lines of what you will do on the job, rather than questions about your interviewer.

EDIT:
Here's a link to some questions:

I guess it's a little late now, though.

Ask for a reach around

Dumb cliche interview questions. Throw him off. Ask him if he were any animal that had a Liger chasing him, what animal would he choose.
