I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Best Buy (Missoula, MT) in Sep 2012
Interview
Applications are submitted exclusively online. A couple days after I submitted my application, I got a call asking in which departments I would be interested in working and an interview time was set up. My interview experience is atypical, as my first one was with the GM and he offered me the job at the end. Typically though, applicants will have one interview with our hiring lead and/or the supervisor or leader of the department for which the applicant is interviewing. If they do well and are liked, they will get called back for second and sometimes third interviews with the AM and GM.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Best Buy (Phillipsburg, NJ) in Jun 2016
Interview
I applied online and they called a few days later to set up a first interview. I had to wait almost a week for the first interview. It was very friendly and casual. Questions were mostly situational and read off of paper by the interviewer. I got a date to come in for a second interview. That too was casual. More situational questions read off of papers. Overall a very easy process.
