      Inventory Specialist Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy in Feb 2009

      Interview

      I submitted an online application and waited. Eventually I was contacted and told I needed to resubmit another online application since 45 days had passed. This resulted in a phone interview that also resulted in being called for a 1:1 interview. In the interview I also found out that the original position I had applied for was not what I was being interviewed for. That was a little disconcerting since I had been preparing for several weeks to interview of the original position. In the one on one interview I found several of the character assessment questions from the online application. Unfotunately during the interview, for some of the questions, I did not have really relevant job experience that I could apply directly so I really had to extrapolate to try to answer appropriately. I feel that the interviewer was competent to evaluate a match between a applicant and a position. When you apply online, be as honest with your answers about behavior and interpersonal relationships as you can. Don't try to 'say what they want', really describe yourself. I think this is the first level 'personality test' that is partially carried forward into the 1:1 interview. The phone interview actually introduced the thought of yet a third possible position to interview for. Be Flexible! - Not only about the possible position, but also be available for whatever schedule needs they may have. I thnk I ended up not getting an offer only because my availability did not match their current needs.

      It was one interview with the manager and they would call you to schedule a work time with you. It was pretty easy and quick. There is no reason why you need to be scared.
