I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Best Buy in Nov 2009
Interview
The interview was all of a 1/2 an hour. It was w/ 2 men & basically it consisted more of scenario types of questions...it's great if you have management experience, but not so much if you haven't b/c they only want people w/ experience. I was never asked about my other positions or even what I could bring to the table. I've been in retail for 9 years & finance for 6, so I have lots of experience, but apparently not what they were looking for. Sucks b/c I really wanted & know I could've handled the role, especially w/ proper training.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How did you handle a problem employee & how many times? How
It was pretty straightforward. Asked about my background and my skill set. Asked about examples of success in my previous position. I was able to ask follow-up questions as well.
I initiated the process with an online application. This led to a 20 minute phone screening with very few open-ended questions. This led to an in-person interview that was about 45 minutes.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy
Interview
The process was thorough, although that is to be expected with a position like this. I got to the Third stage and had three different interviewees. One with the Hr rep, one with a hiring coordinator and the third with the district manager.
