I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at GameStop (North Merrick, NY) in Jul 2009
Interview
I had walked into the GameStop of North Merrick for nothing better to do with my day than to look at games that I couldn't buy since I was currently unemployed. I managed to strike up conversation with one of the Senior Game Advisors who told me that there was an actual job opening in the store. I submitted my job application to him and received a call from the manager the day after. I was ecstatic. I went to meet with the manager the day after that and by the end of the week received a call telling me I had gotten the job. I was so overjoyed. The interview process went very smoothly, we walked around the store as the manager asked me some interview questions keeping things as casual as possible which made me feel even more relaxed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There weren't really any difficult or unexpected questions that I can remember
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.
