I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy in Sept 2010
Interview
The hiring process was pretty simple. I applied online, received a call from the store a couple weeks later for my first interview. I met with 3 different managers, the last being the general manager. All interviews were standard and the managers were all really friendly and approachable.
Hiring and interviewing process was fairly straight-forward. However, training took longer than expected. The people there ranged from being serious about their jobs to ignoring their responsibilities. I was there when customers blatantly stole items and nobody else noticed - therefore, nothing was done.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Past experiences and what I intend to bring to the company.
Sat in the back room and had a series of two interviews in store and one phone interview before I got the job. They asked me a lot of in depth questions. The questions were a mix of easy and hard. Just be confident and have a positive attitude and you'll do well!

Interview
The first time I applied as an external candidate was almost a decade ago, but it hasn't changed much since then... So, what you should expect is to meet with a supervisor or manager after a back office associate calls to set up and interview. That sup or mgr will ask you a series of questions out of an interview guide. If that leader wants to hire you, they will pass you along for a final interview with the general manager (or another assistant manager if the gm is unavailable). Sometimes the wait for the final may take a day or two, but if you're hired after that you'll just need to take a drug test.

Question 1
The most difficult would probably just be some of the self awareness type questions you'll be asked. Think about all of your strengths and weaknesses prior to interviewing so you don't stumble over your words.
