I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Best Buy (Manassas, VA) in Oct 2007
Interview
A week or so after filling the application out online, I received a call from one of the managers at my local Best Buy. She did a brief interview with me over the phone and then we scheduled an appointment for a face to face interview. The face to face interview was all about my previous jobs and what skills I have. The manager liked the fact that I had previous experience with sales and customer service. When the manager was done with me, a Geek Squad associate gave me a brief talk about what skills I poses. He asked me some technical questions then we set up a last interview. On the last interview, I sat face to face with the stores General Manager in a closed room. It was a little intimidating. She asked me questions about how I would handle certain customer situations. She really liked the fact that I would not call a manager if a customer asks. She liked the fact that I would handle the situation as best as I could before calling a manager. At the end of the interview, we discussed getting a drug test within 3 days then discussed pay. She was very firm on the pay and would not negotiate.

Very thorough, as the interviewer knew the exact technical questions to ask to ensure their employees great success. Also the interviewer was a Geeksquad Manager that knew the ins and outs of the Geeksquad, so he was a right interviewer for the job
