I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Best Buy (Raleigh, NC) in Oct 2012
Interview
I arrived at my local Best Buy during a job fair and was instructed to wait by customer service and wait to be called. One manager came over and said that my application had been messed up in the system and helped me fill out a new one on the customer kiosk. Once my name was called I had an interview with one of the supervisors. He was kind and polite and didn't rush me, and asked me questions about my day and how school was going and just basic small talk. We walked to the security room where the actual interview began, he asked me what 3 departments I wanted to work in, my grades, why I want to work there, and if I have any questions. After the first interview I got sent to another interview with one of the department managers who asked me the same basic questions, and asked me about my skills and attributes, and then again asked me about why I wanted to work there. After that interview I got sent into the General Manager for a final interview, he asked me about my hour availability, about my transportation, what department I would love to work in, and then he asked me how much I want to make. (Me looking for my first job said $7.25/minimum wage) He then said that he liked me a lot and I had a great personality, said I was hired and I was getting paid for the time in the interview and gave me $8.50/hour salary, and put me in the Computer/Tablet department as the youngest sales associate in the store.

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.

Interview
Applied for the job online, then immediately got an email to do a video interview within 5 days. There is no interviewer, it's just you responding to the questions on the screen as it records you. It gives you a moment to practice if you want. There are 8 questions. You have 10 seconds to read the question, then 2 minutes to respond. At least you can click the button if you want to continue, giving you time to think or take a breather before you answer the next question.

Interview
It was pretty easy with the integration of the video interview. I was able to get it done in about 15 to 20 minutes at the most which I thought was pretty impressive.
