I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Syracuse, NY) in Sept 2012
Interview
Hiring was a pretty straight forward process. First interview is with a manager, and is to test the waters on how you will hold up as a person. Being kind and friendly is always good here but remember that you are also applying for a job. Notes will be taken and reviewed from a packet. I got a call about 30 min after my first interview inviting me to a second one. The second one was with the manager of the department I was applying for. This is where the serious, "so why should I hire you?" questions come into play. After that they will either call for a third interview, which is to see if you want the job, or wait for you to call them. Best advice is to build a good report with the manager and write his name down, so when you call ask specifically for him.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most difficult question that was asked was how well I believe i would work in a team environment, and what I could do to contribute to such and environment.
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.
