I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Best Buy in Sep 2014
Interview
Hiring was very easy. Filled out application and within one week had a phone call for an interview. Went to the interview and met with the warehouse supervisor. Asked basic questions that are not hard at all. Basically the original tell me about yourself, why best buy, qualifications, etc. after I finished that interview I was asked if I had time to meet with the GM. He basically asked the same questions and offered me a job contingent on drug screen and background.

Star method questions. Depending on the location they each have a very different interview process. The first two were more lengthy and expected you to do a demonstration or convincing them to buy something whereas my third interview at a different location was very laid back.

Why Bestbuy and can you tell me about your last experience.
It was a very average interview process, however there were a lot of other applicants so the competition is large. The interviewer was professional and was on point, you need to meet their certain requirements
