Interviewed Jun 2009 in Orange, CA (took a day)
I went in wearing non fancy clothes and was interviewed in a room where they were interviewing other people. I was asked basic questions and beign 18 and still in highschool at the time I did not think I would get the job. The interviewer was really bored and did not seem to care much.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
Applied for the position and they offered to interview me. During the interview they said that the position was not open but they could get back to me when the position was open. This was after the fact that we had already finished the interview which was rather frustrating.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 2 days)
The online application is interview 1. Then I met with a low level manager for my 2nd interview. This consisted of answering questions selected from already written Best Buy corporate questions. He gave me the ok and I interviewed the next day with the GM. These questions were more personality based questions. Very laid back, fun to joke with! I was offered the job that day and had to take a drug test within 24 hours. They also ran a background check. It took 1 week for them to get back to me about orientation.

Interviewed Sep 2008 (took 1 week)
I walked in on an open interview day. I already applied on the Best Buy career website a couple weeks prior making the process a lot easier. If you did not already apply online, they would take you to a computer first before speaking to you. The first interview i had that day were pretty basic questions about school and the little work experience I had. I was then asked questions like, what was your best/worst shopping experience, and have you ever had to convince or change someones mind in a situation. He then scheduled me for a second interview. It was basically the same thing as the first one, but I got the offer. Then I took a drug test, and got called in for training.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 3 days)
I applied online and there were a lot of questions to answer, after that there were even more "What - If" scenarios presented. Overall I am very glad I applied as I love the stores.

Interviewed Jun 2008 in Harrisburg, PA (took a day)
Had a brief conversation with some Department Head who was contently being interrupted. He seemed preoccupied with matters other than an interview handed me a series of forms and concluded the interview. I filled out the forms handed them to another employee since the previous gentleman could not be found. Never heard from anyone again! After a few attempts to find out what my status was I concluded they were not interested.
