I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Best Buy (Saugus, MA) in May 2012
Interview
I applied online, but didn't receive any call. So I decided to go talk to the manager. She gave me an 1:1 interview. After the interview they gave me a second interview. I think if you get a second interview and don't screw that up, you're guaranteed a job. The questions are pretty easy. On first interview the questions were: (1) Tell me about urself, (2) Why should we hire you? (3)Tell me about a time you had to deal with an angry customer, (4)Tell me about a time when you went above and beyond to help a customer.
For 2nd interview the questions were: (1) If you saw an employee stealing how'd you deal with that? (2) Describe your ideal work situation (3) Describe your ideal boss.
As long as you're confident and show an interest in the company you'll be hired.
