The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Best Buy (Washington, DC) in Oct 2008
Interview
First, you have to go online to the website and complete the online application (which can take up to an hour to finish). An employee, most likely one of the managers from the department that you applied for, may call you for an interview. After the main interview, you may be asked to do a second interview with the District Manager for that store. If all goes well, then they will call you back to go through the orientation process, which consists of watching a video with other fresh applicants that will tell you about the safety procedures and the company's overall motive. Best Buy does conduct urinalysis. The best advice for someone going to the interview would be to be polite and conversational.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Best Buy in Jul 2010
Interview
I applied online. Suprisingly got a call back a week and a half later.I was asked several questions about my hours and interest in the job. I was told to come in two days. Went in 10 minutes early and waited for 5. The interviewer to me to a side room and there was a guy doing paper work but the interviewer told him he could stay. It was really akward. The interviewer was very impersonal. She never established eye contact, read only from a sheet of notes, and asked situational question about some situations I have been in. She asked no personal questions. I was so mad that I started to blankout on my responses. I had two interviews prior to that and this was by far the worst one. She told me I would get a call back later that day if I was hired. I recieved no call back.

The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Best Buy (McKinney, TX) in Jul 2010
Interview
Had an interview after 5 days after signing up. Telephone call; dress in black dress shirt, leather belt, black dress pants, black tie, dress shoes. Brought pen/pencil and paper to write down questions. Went to the interview at 7:30 sharp and came out around 12ish. Quick process; but takes too long cause of other people that were there. GM had a stern look on his face.
