I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at GameStop (Portland, OR) in Jul 2016
Interview
Around 3 weeks after I applied in-store I got a call from the store manager asking if I would do an interview that was scheduled in 2-3 days later. During the interview I almost felt as though I was being treated as a 15 year old kid in my first job interview (I'm 19 and have had quite a bit of interview experience). She pretty much asked questions like what would you do if such as such happened? But overall the interview went good and the manager said she wanted to schedule a phone interview. The next day I got a call to schedule a phone interview which was around a week later. The phone interview lasted around 15 minutes and was with the district manager, she just gave me scenarios as if she was the customer and I was the employee. After the phone interview the manager said she would call at the end of the day to tell me if I got the job or not. A few hours I got a call saying I got the job.
Met with the manager and interviewed. Good interview, professional, the questions were good and not invasive. The job seemed like a good fit but there were only a few positions open.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at GameStop (Fairfield, CA)
Interview
Standard questions given by the managers and assistant manager. Questions involving teamwork, managing time, and organization. Also, work history and education. Experience with last and current game consoles is a must. Relaxed environment while appearing business casual. No need to do an online application.
Applied online and then got a call to schedule interview. She asked me about what games I like, consoles I have, etc...Then she went over how strict the job is alongside the pay rate and I, for some reason, still said I wanted to work there.
