I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GameStop (Brooklyn, NY) in Jul 2018
Interview
Group interview. Like one of the other interviewees mentioned, it felt like an american idol audition. It was a panel of 4 employees and a general manager on the side. They go around in random order asking interviewees several questions. Interviewees step out, the interviewers debilitate among themselves and then call interviewees back in one by one to let them know if they were hired. If hired (which is immediately), you receive a Gamestop card. No card, no hire.
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.
