One thing you can do to help your interviewer and make their job easier is to let them know which of their recruiting efforts are yielding positive results. So share how you heard about the position, whether it was from a friend who works for Best Buy, whether you sought the position out yourself, a "now hiring" sign, or on a job board. Also, let them know which of their value propositions most appealed to you, and why.

If you were informed about the position from a family member, friend, or acquaintance, be sure to mention it. They have a referral process, "Best Buy Connect," and an employee from within recommending you for the job could help you in winning the position. "At Best Buy, our people are our most important asset, and we're committed to making the referral process easy. If you see a position you feel is a great fit for you and you know a current Best Buy employee who can speak to your qualifications, they can refer you as a candidate for the role before you apply. As a candidate, if referred, you should be forwarded a special link to apply to a specific job opening by a current employee."

"I actually have a friend who works for the company at their corporate headquarters. They've hosted several parties and I have a pretty strong feeling for the company culture already. This friend has encouraged me to pursue a career with Best Buy for years, and the timing finally felt right. So here I am."
