Best Buy prefers three months or more of retail experience to work at their stores, so they will expect you to have at least one retail job under your belt. When discussing your most challenging position, avoid speaking negatively about previous employers. If the challenge you dealt with had to do with colleagues or management, discuss the environment or culture of the company broadly instead of individual people. Don't forget to describe what you did to overcome the challenge you faced.

"I have worked in retail for the past eight years. My most challenging position was with Company ABC. I found it challenging because it was a different industry than I was accustomed to. I learned a great deal during that time. This position was also my favorite because it was such a great challenge. I like to be pushed beyond my boundaries. It keeps me motivated to be better."

"My most challenging position was my job as a sales associate for a home goods store. It was an extremely competitive environment, and we were encouraged to do anything to make the sale. I found it challenging because I am not an aggressive salesperson, but I learned a lot about sales. While I eventually decided that I didn't fit well in that environment, I'm grateful for the experience.
My favorite position was my previous job as an IT technician. I enjoyed helping our clients solve their tech problems and teaching them how to avoid future issues. I look forward to combining my love of fixing and teaching about technology with my sales experience."
