I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Best Buy (San Antonio, TX) in Jun 2010
Interview
I went in for an interview at 10 am and had to wait for almost twenty minutes after my scheduled time for the interviewer to arrive. She claimed that traffic had prevented her from being on time. She asked me 5 questions, none of which had anything to do with the job, and then had me write down answers on a printed off interview questionaire for her so she didn't have to write it down herself. She excused herself while I was writing, and when I finished, she came back, took the papers, and said they would call by the end of the week if I were hired. I never heard from them.

The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Best Buy (Washington, DC) in Oct 2008
Interview
First, you have to go online to the website and complete the online application (which can take up to an hour to finish). An employee, most likely one of the managers from the department that you applied for, may call you for an interview. After the main interview, you may be asked to do a second interview with the District Manager for that store. If all goes well, then they will call you back to go through the orientation process, which consists of watching a video with other fresh applicants that will tell you about the safety procedures and the company's overall motive. Best Buy does conduct urinalysis. The best advice for someone going to the interview would be to be polite and conversational.
