I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Best Buy (Cuyahoga Falls, OH) in Nov 2008
Interview
This was my first job out of high school, so I went in to the store and they told me to apply online. I did, and the next day, I got a call from one of the store's managers. She asked me if I would be able to come in the next day to have a one on one interview. I said yes, and did. I met with the sales manager. He asked me some basic questions about home theater (since that was my department of choice), like 'what is the downside of full-screen DVDs?', 'what is the difference between dolby surround and dolby digital?' Do a little research on the department you want to work. You don't need to know much to start--you'll learn quickly. But learn what cameras are popular, learn what computers are selling, know your TV-makers. It'll make you versatile.
It went well, and I was called back for a second interview a week later. I interviewed with the sales manager again. He told me that normally, I'd have a third interview with the general manager, but that he was going to extend me an offer right then. I took it, and so it went.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why would you recommend Monster HDMI cables versus generic brand?
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.
