I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Santa Maria, CA) in Mar 2008
Interview
Best Buy has you submit an application online. If you pass the the evaluation at the end of the application don't expect Best Buy to contact you. I had to call at least 5 times and ask multiple friends who work for Best Buy to talk to their managers. After I finally was contacted by Best Buy I was given a short over the phone interview asking about my experience and availability. Next I was asked to come in for a face-to-face interview. The interview consisted of a back to back interviews by a department supervisor and by a store manager. After my interview I was hired on the spot but I have heard of people being hired a week after their interview (especially seasonal employees.)

I filled out an application online and received a phone call the next day. I went on the interview with the Team Leader which went well. A week later, I got a call from the store manager for another interview and ended up interviewing with the District Manager that same day.

Question 1
"Why do you want a job?" The question took me by surprise. I guess he wanted to see if I wanted it for the right reasons.
