I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Marlborough, MA) in Jul 2010
Interview
Filled out a profile online including a personality test. I had a friend who worked there, so that helped push my application through. I went through two rounds of interviews. The first round included an interview by two department managers. The final interview was by the store manager. During the final interview I was given my offer. It was over minimum wage, so I accepted. Generally a pretty easy interview.

Went to a hiring fair and did speed round interviews with managers from multiple departments. Was fairly straight-forward and appreciated that everything was 1 on 1, not group interviews. The managers asked relevant questions and also spoke about the jobs.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Best Buy (Grand Forks, ND) in Oct 2011
Interview
I applied online and received a call back for the first interview within 3 days. The first interview went well, interviewed with the manager for the department I was applying for. The manager was courteous and nice to talk to. Most of the questions were fairly basic. "Describe a situation in which you overcame a problem" and other questions like that. I was told at the end of the interview that they were very interested and would get back to me. The next day I received a call for a second interview with the general manager. The second interview covered mostly the same questions as the first and at the end of the interview I was offered a position at higher then the wage I had asked for. A drug test was required as a condition of employment and I started working within a week of my second interview.
