I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Best Buy (Boston, MA) in Jul 2011
Interview
The interviews knew a lot about the company and its offerings like 401k and stock options. They explained all the processes before the interview started and were very through about the stores financial situation.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy in Jan 2009
Interview
Direct and to the point. Brief phone interview with about thirty to thirty five questions. The one one on one interview lasted about twenty five min which included a walkthrough of the store. All in all it took about two weeks to complete the whole process. Direct and to the point. Brief phone interview with about thirty to thirty five questions.

The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Best Buy in Oct 2010
Interview
Was hired as the result of a mass job fair to find seasonal hires for Black Friday and Christmas season; originally wanted a stock/merchandising position but ended up as a sales associate. I had been calling the store for about two weeks and was continuously told to call back later when the hiring manager was available; an associate who answered the phone one day finally let me know about an upcoming job fair that I could come to instead. Arrived, had to confirm that I had already applied online, and sat around for 3 to 4 hours before someone spoke with me. They then sent me on my way and said someone would call me the next day. After not hearing from them I called them back and got an interview with the head of stocking and merchandising. A day or two later the store called me and said I could move on to the next phase of the application process, and thus I interviewed with the general manager, who admitted he did not see me as a stocking associate. I said I had some experience with computers and was then hired as a computer sales associate. Wasn't brought in for my first paid day (orientation) until three weeks later after being told I'd only have to wait two weeks.
