I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Best Buy (Pottstown, PA) in Nov 2011
Interview
They talk to you over the phone. Then if you are still interested they schedule you for an interview. They ask a number of questions about achievement. What was your most fulfiling moment? What are you proudest of? They are very nice and professional and seemingly laid back. The office for the interview was very organized. They are very organized. There is a 3 month calendar with important dates listed on the calendar. The calendar is color coded and their are holidy drawings on the dry-erase calendar. They have another chart which lists who is scheduled to which departments. There are two computers. And the room is very neat and well organized. If you do well on the first interview then you are scheduled for a second interview. The questions seem to be behavioral questions, how did you respond to or solve a problem. The interview was vey nice. No problem. If you are hired then they immediately hand you the drug test kit and tell you that you have to go for a drug test in the next 2 days. If you pass the drug test then you are hired, I think. Once the drug test results are in then you come in to finalize paperwork and you are scheduled for training.
