Got hired on the spot after a less than 15min long interview and I’m kinda stressed and confused about it
So… about a week ago I applied for a seasonal retail associate job. Then I get a 5-min phone call two days ago asking me why I chose Best Buy and that I had an interview today with the manager. She mentioned if I was interested in the geek squad and I said yes. Few questions about availability but that’s it.
Now I get there and the manager looks very chill but it looked like he didn’t even know he had an interview with me or for what I had applied. So after 15min of him mainly looking at my CV and asking the only question “why did you choose Best Buy" he asks if I would like to work in Geek Squad. I say yes, again… he gets up and tells me he’s going to look if there’s a spot for me… he comes back after 2min and instantly tells me I’m hired. I’m kinda in shock so questions don’t really come out and I just stay there like what??.…of course I agree lol.
So here I am kinda confused and happy… is this normal? Does this happen? I didn’t even apply for the geek squad but boom I’m hired in it for the season.
I feel like that was way too fast… guess he really liked me. Now they told me they would send a job offer that would be auto-accepted and that more info would be sent in a month or less. Don’t I need to send my info first? How does this work?
Also important note… this is like my first official job EVER… and my cv is pretty empty. I have a DEC in computer science and some experience with building pcs but that’s it.
Mainly asking because, after some research, the way they did that is absolutely nothing like what I’m seeing people recounting their experiences online… anyways hope I like it there
