I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GameStop (Chino, CA) in Oct 2019
Interview
I really enjoyed the GM's (not sure if I should provide their name) interview style! Instead of sitting down in an office or walking around the store, he had us walk around the shopping center outside. The questions were very basic but practical and he was very straight forward as far as the expectations of this seasonal position. He needed people who were at least willing to work holidays and night shifts and he was very upfront about the amount of hours I would get at to start. Overall it was a pleasant experience. I had received offers from other well known companies (target, mcdonalds, panda express) but I chose to go with Gamestop because I believe you should work for industries that bring you joy and passion in life.
Straightforward. Come in for interview. They will give you a call with an offer. If you have general knowledge of games, you will be fine. If you have knowledge on game accessories, that is plus.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at GameStop
Interview
Was very straight forward. Filled out an application, told an employee (whom I interacted with frequently when purchasing products), and was called to schedule a single interview. After the interview I got the job and started within a week or two. Wanted to make sure I understood the MSRB and knew not to advertise or sell M rated games to minors.
