like the title says, I got an interview with Best Buy later today. Anyone got any useful tips? Or has any one worked there, what's it like?

We spent the whole time talking about Gamefly, MW2, Fallout, and FIFA. The guy was like, "We just spent the whole time talking about games. F it I am not going to ask you any of these BS questions. You're solid man, I will call you on Monday for a second interview but don't worry you should be all set for the job. Congrats."
I diddy bopped my as out of there. Can't wait to start rockin the BB collard shirt, my veins bleed blue now

I am not sure, I think it's 30%. I heard employees do not get discounts on big ticket items like TVs and stereos. I dunno if that's true or not though.Originally Posted by Diego
Congrats bro.
Whats our discount lookin like?
Need a home theatre system.
I got lucky actually, my friend works at a Best Buy downtown, she told me they let go a BUNCH of people for theft and very low performance at a couple locations around me. So I applied to every BB in my area, and yes the application process was so f'in ridiculous. I got a call like 5 days later from 2 locations (one that I just interviewed for today, and I actually have ANOTHER BB interview on Saturday in downtown Chicago.)Originally Posted by derventa
Just curious, I'm trying to get a full-time summer job. How'd you get the interview? Did you apply online and get a call?
I've applied countless times to bestbuy with the online application(longest application ever)...

My advice, get out of retail period, but if ur young, go for it. just try not to spend too much of your check there. trust me, being around all that crap all day long makes u wanna have it, but it gets old quick. As far as discounts, u won't get one for the first 30 days, but after that, u get (i think) 10% above cost. on certain items u get a ton off, like accessories from geek squad, dynex, (best buy owned brands) etc. On certain items u get hardly anything off, like computers/laptops. DVD's and videogames u get about $5-6 off. Car audio u get pretty good deals, almost half off, but I haven't worked there since 2006.
