I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Philadelphia, PA) in Aug 2014
Interview
Applied online. Received a call from HR a week later for a phone screen and to set up an interview. The first interview was with the Geek Squad manager. I was asked 7 or 8 questions and then I asked 5 or 6 back. The questions are scripted, and I suggest you prepare some good ones as well. I was asked why I want to work at BB; describe a time when I went above and beyond to serve a customer; how would I assist someone who doesn't have any experience with technology; describe an information system that I used in the past.
The second interview was scheduled for the next day, this time with the store manager. He told me that if I made it through the first interview there is a good chance I will be hired. He asked me some questions for mere formality, asked if I had any questions for him, and then made me an offer on the spot.

Question 1
In my first interview I was asked how I would get my coworkers/peers to do something despite not having any authority over them. For some reason I pictured myself being a new employee trying to convince a coworker whom I didn't know to do something for me. I froze for about 20 seconds, but eventually came up with a pretty good answer. Basically, there are two kinds of respect--one is given and the other is earned.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Best Buy
Interview
The process its self is very efficient and within a couple of days was easy. The only issues I had to do was wait for the GM to get back from vacation which took about a week but as soon as he was back he gave me the okay.
