I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Burlington, MA) in Oct 2012
Interview
10/23/2012 I applied for Best Buy as a Sales associate.
Saturday 10/25/2012 I received a phone call and had a brief phone interview.
Monday 10/29/2012 I had a interview in person with a supervisor. Everything went very well, I answered the questions just fine. The questions were simple, like When was a time you went out of your way to help someone? What is your duties at your current job? What would happen if you worked with someone you did not like and would it affect your work?
And at the end of the interview, she said that I should get a call in about a week(but probably sooner) about setting up a interview with the general manager. She shook my hand once again and said that she was looking forward to the opportunity of seeing me there again.
What does this mean? Does this mean I passed the second interview or do they say that to everyone? I have looked online and most the people that did not get past the second interview said that they were told the person would have to talk with the hiring manager. he did not say that at the end of my interview. So does this mean that I will probably get a call back?
It was not too long and was a good process. They asked me about eight questions so that was not bad at all. Just make sure you act professionally and be positive throughout the process is what’s most important of all.

Interview
Applied for the job online, then immediately got an email to do a video interview within 5 days. There is no interviewer, it's just you responding to the questions on the screen as it records you. It gives you a moment to practice if you want. There are 8 questions. You have 10 seconds to read the question, then 2 minutes to respond. At least you can click the button if you want to continue, giving you time to think or take a breather before you answer the next question.

Interview
It was pretty easy with the integration of the video interview. I was able to get it done in about 15 to 20 minutes at the most which I thought was pretty impressive.
