Interviewed Oct 2010 in New York, NY (took 4 days)
First you start of by getting a phone interview, asking you what department you want to work for and 2 other ones if you don't get your first. then i met with one of the managers in the store. asked me simple interview questions, then i met with the store GM and then was asked pretty much the most important question "if you see a manger stealing what do you do " the goal is to say you have to say something , you don't tolerate stealing even from high authority. then i was offered the job and when i should come in for orientation .

Interviewed May 2010 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
It was pretty easy in the first interview, just make sure to show a really friendly and jolly personality. The second interview with the general manager is a bit more tougher as they kind of try to either figure you out and break you down. They ask a lot of hypothetical and situational questions so get prepared for that. You'll know if you'll get the job by the last interview, just don't be nervous and be yourself and try breaking the ice with a light joke or something you and the interviewer can relate to.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in East Brunswick, NJ (took 2 weeks)
Received a call from manager, after short phone interview was asked to come in for in person interview. She was nice and asked several questions. She said she would give me a call if I made the cut, received a call a week later to come in to interview with the general manager. He was amazingly nice and fairly grounded. Basically recap of first interview + a couple extra (i.e. Why Best Buy) offered a position and was told about the drug test. I dont do drugs so no worries went that after noon. received a call a week later and was told I passed (surprise surprise) and was scheduled for orientation. I know am selling computers already and I couldnt love my job any more than I do now.
