    lol. in all seriousness though, just be on your p's an q's at that store. its a pretty busy store so if you have been in retail before, you'll be alright especially if you were in a high traffic store. gunna need to watch what ya do and what not so they wont think twice about firing ya. it can be all about politics there, but as long as you do your job. you'll be fine.

    I'm currently attending school, but I won't be working too many hours. I've been in retail before so I don't think it could be too bad.

    You'll be in a group interview mostly and Q&A's will be answered as a group. Make sure you answer any questions about pertaining about termination stories with your answer termaintion! other then that, be social and expressive. I wouldn't mind working for bestbuy someday.

    There's nothing wrong with working at best buy and going to college. I go to school 15 hours and still work with no issues. Do you remember the person you talked to?

    I already did. They are only hiring FT for all positions and I can't work the hours due to school. I've hit up many of the stores around Gwinnett(Duluth,Lawrenceville,Suwanee) and they all want FT. Maximum hours I can work are 35. Sucks to be me..
