Hiring Heroes

At Best Buy, we believe the experience gained while serving our nation is valuable and we are committed to helping veterans continue to grow their careers. We believe in unleashing the power of our people, so for candidates with military experience, we start by guiding them to the best position. Using the military job search below, applicants can match military experience to civilian jobs that allow them to take full advantage of their strengths. From there, they have the chance to utilize our wide array of employee resources and collaborate with leaders who support their development with growth-focused conversations.

Recently, two Best Buy military veterans, Nicole Kukla and Adam Lindeman, partnered with Hirepurpose to share their stories (https://taskandpurpose.com/best-buy-military-veterans-jobs).

We honor those who serve and have served in our country’s military. During Veteran’s Day and the month of November, we are reminded that sacrifice and selfless service is larger than just one person. In serving our country veterans are doing their duty loyally without thought of recognition or gain. It’s qualities like these that make veterans invaluable members of the Best Buy team.

Matthew Jesse

Branch of Service: United States Airforce
Years of Service: 2014- current
Rank: Airman First Class (E-3)
Title: Sr. Demand Planning Analyst for Portable Speakers

“I partner with the Merchants in deciding the assortment we will carry at Best Buy, and once the assortment is decided, I work with the vendors to order product in the proper channels. I am in charge with placing purchase orders with the vendor for delivery to Best Buy distribution centers and then properly allocating the inventory to Best Buy stores and the dotcom channel.

I continue to choose Best Buy (Enlisted after I had already started my career at Best Buy) because of the great Military support they have- whether it be the flexibility with time off that I need to perform Military duties, or supporting me and my family while away from home.”

“When I interviewed at Best Buy, not only did the management take an interest in my military experience, they were genuine in taking the time and energy to understand what I had achieved as an active duty Marine and how my military background correlated to responsibilities within the company. I have an immense amount of gratitude for the company and the opportunities it has provided. My hope is that men and women will consider Best Buy as they search for employment after their military service. Best Buy values veterans. I am a testament.”
