I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Best Buy (Richfield, MN) in Oct 2010
Interview
The interview is heavily behavioral based questioning. The interview lasted for about 45 minutes and was conducted by two members of the Best Buy corporate team. The process was to submit our resumes via our campus career center and we were then notified if Best Buy wanted to interview us. They were on-campus interviews and I was told I'd hear back within a week if they wanted to continue with a second round interview at Best Buy in Richfield. They were very friendly and easy to talk to. Made you feel very comfortable before the interview. I had a great experience.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you have had to explain a diffuclt process to someone. How did you go about it?
A lot of behavioral questions, so be an expert in using the STAR interview method (Youtube it). It's really important you use concrete, specific examples and walk through beginning to end the situation and the result you impacted.
