I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Syracuse, NY) in Sep 2012
Interview
Hiring was a pretty straight forward process. First interview is with a manager, and is to test the waters on how you will hold up as a person. Being kind and friendly is always good here but remember that you are also applying for a job. Notes will be taken and reviewed from a packet. I got a call about 30 min after my first interview inviting me to a second one. The second one was with the manager of the department I was applying for. This is where the serious, "so why should I hire you?" questions come into play. After that they will either call for a third interview, which is to see if you want the job, or wait for you to call them. Best advice is to build a good report with the manager and write his name down, so when you call ask specifically for him.

Question 1
The most difficult question that was asked was how well I believe i would work in a team environment, and what I could do to contribute to such and environment.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Tinley Park, IL) in Jul 2012
Interview
Best Buy does not seem to have hiring the best applicant for the position in mind, at least in my case. I am 55, have 30 years of excellent retail sales and management skills and was simply looking to sell a passion of mine; high end audio equipment in the Magnolia Room. The first interview was with a substitute for the store manager. He was cold but efficient and asked pertinent questions. I stressed my strengths and skill. I also spoke of my salary needs and was told that it is out of line for their structure. I agreed to aquiesce. I offered no resistance. I received a call for a second interview and returned to speak with a second in charge of the Tinley Park, Il store. That went fine as well. It was with the second in charge of the store; it seems the manager was perpetually on vacation? Hard to say really. I never heard back from them. I was truly shocked. It seems highly unlikely someone would be more prepared to roll up their sleeves and give great service than me.

Question 1
There were no difficult questions; the process and questions asked were straightforward and fair. I have no qualms about the interview process being a good one. It just may have poor outcomes for them, at times.

Interview
Applied online, they got back to me within a couple of weeks.
Had two interviews, was hired on the spot. Typical questions were asked, nothing that really stood out. The interview process is nothing to be worried about, just know answers to questions like, "When was a time you worked best as a team?"
