Question 1
There were no unexpected questions in this interview.
I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Best Buy (Tennessee City, TN)
Interview
I got hired almost 7 years ago, and I have been promoted several times since then. I know the interview process has changed quite a bit (as I am in a position where I perform interviews now), but it's still pretty cut and dry. Questions are fairly consistent across retail for interviews, particularly for sales associates. The questions always fall back to living or not living the company values, so just know those before going into an interview. My personal interview was short and to the point. I had a lot of retail experience beforehand and they already knew my work history, so it was basically clarification and asking "Tell me about a time when ..." questions.

Question 1
ALWAYS be prepared - for Best Buy or any other retail outlet - about a Loss Prevention question, such as "If you saw a co-worker stealing, what would you do?" Pretty easy question to answer for most people, but just be prepared.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Mason, OH) in Oct 2012
Interview
Three interviews and a good training program. starting with a supervisor to manager to general manager. general knowledge questions and everyday scenarios pertaining to retail. After hiring there is a day or two of training to prepare you on general operations. Training continues throughout the work experience.
