The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Best Buy in May 2008
Interview
Already had the associate in mind that they were hiring. Got the interview on the back end of the process. Was the top candidate until the other associate from different location applied. Was not told why I didn't get the job. Very unprofessional experience and have been with the company too long to be treated in such a manner. Make sure to make friends and buddies with managers and supervisors. Your performance and quality of work does not matter to most. At least at my location. I have heard some positive experiences from other stores though so this is based solely on the experience at my location. Seems to be changes coming around the corner though.
Few questions asked mainly wants know if you are able to sell products while practicing their values. First interview is with the team lead or supervisor and then usually a second interview with the assistant manager or general manager.
Pretty typical interview questions. Show a lot of leadership potential and willingness to learn and lead others. Dress to impress and if applying from within the company, know your metrics.
