I applied at Best buy like on the 20th and haven't received word, one of the jobs I applied for got taken down but is still under review. My mom said it might be a good idea to call them and "make sure" they got my application, would that be a good idea? Would I just call the store I applied too?

Yes, call the store that you applied to and ask to talk to either the hiring manager or the General manager and ask about the progress of the application. 

 

Edit: If you just applied there is always the chance that they are going through all the other applications and since black friday is this week, it's very busy there and maybe you won't hear from them until after the holiday.

Tried that at my local BB. They sounded like they were annoyed when I did that - this was after I went into the store to see if I could talk to someone.

 

Then they ended up calling me while I was in the shower, which made me irrationally angry at them so I didn't call back. #noragrets

Eh, I can't seem to contact them, the only option for talking to real people under the store options is about Sales concerns and I'm still trying to connect right now.

When you call, ask for a sales associate and then ask them if they can hand you off to a sales manager.

It might be my Best Buy, but the people I work with are pretty awesome and I haven't had to many idiotic customers...as of yet.

With job applications, it doesn't hurt to call and check if they received your application.

I know co-workers can make or break a job, but I don't really count that. What I mean is this; let's say you get transferred to another Best Buy. Now you're stuck with co-workers who are rude to you. Would you still say that Best Buy is awesome? Or would you just say that your ex-co-workers were awesome?

Best way to get a job nowadays is to go there in person. If someone says go online and fill out a application. Ask to speak the the manager. Let him or her know your really interested in the job. Then name off a few good skills after a few words. Make them remember your name and use theirs several times. Good luck.
