I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Houston, TX) in Oct 2017
Interview
first there is a phone interview which is very basic making sure that there you are able to work certain days and are okay with pay and hours and general questions. Then the first in person interview you meet with a manger and they discuss further in detail what your job is and continue to ask why you think youll be a good fit and after that there may be a third interview if needed but most hires will be after the first in person interview.

Question 1
why do you think you'll be a good fit in the best buy company.
Recorded interview: asked basic about me overview question, why best buy, and a few scenario question touching on customer privacy and respect. Overall very smooth, did not get a call back due to locations
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They always tend to start with the "tell me about yourself" where you essentially pitch yourself in 90 seconds or less.
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.

Question 1
Why Bestbuy and can you tell me about your last experience.
It was not too long and was a good process. They asked me about eight questions so that was not bad at all. Just make sure you act professionally and be positive throughout the process is what’s most important of all.
