I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy in May 2013
Interview
Got an interview within a week of submitting the application. First interview was with the assistant manager. Very standard questions (eg. why did you quit your last job, did you like working for previous employers, what would you do if you found out someone was stealing...). Second interview was in the next two weeks, with the general manager of the store. Very fast interview, the GM asked very few questions but provided many information regarding the position and what you will likely to encounter during your time there. Training took a weekend (16 hours).

Question 1
Just answer with common sense... For example, if you found a five year old stealing candy, do you report the kid to the police...? or you ask kindly of the parents to watch their kid more carefully....
Fair interview process, I was asked relevant questions and were super welcoming. Was asked about myself , my values , and why I would be a good fit for the company.

Interview
Straightforward very easy interview with basic questions. Mostly assess previous experiences and skills etc relative to job. Bestbuy is a overall okay place to work and a good place to gather skills to transition into a different position
Good not hard, easy to talk to manager. Also lots of turnover so easy to find openings. they did a good job of asking me about me and not just my ability to do the job
