I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at GameStop (Bloomington, IL) in Sep 2014
Interview
First interview with store manager. Went off a small workbook with multiple follow up questions. I often answered a large portion of the follow ups with my initial answer. Mostly about management experience, but in my case, having none, used times that I took an authoritative role. Mostly a common retail interview with a lot of supervisor questions. He wrote a lot and said I gave good answers.
Second interview was supposed to be a phone interview with another manager from the same area. Ended up as an in person interview because I worked I the same building as that Gamestop, so it was much easier to meet in person. In this interview, he ran out of questions because I answered then so fully again. Asked if I didn't get the AM if he could hire me to work 10 hours a week on my days off for my current job.
Didn't get the job, but he said I was a top contender.

Interview
Had a quick phone interview to ask what my salary expectation where, and them stating I was asking too high, even though in the ad I was asking for the higher price they had. They informed me I would get the lower price, and asked me to arrive in person for an interview the next day. They proceed to cancel 2 hours before my interview when I was already on they way (transit).

Question 1
Personality questions regarding how you can motivate an employee to sell pro memberships and warranties on physical games nobody is buying
Very easy and straightforward if you’re into video games and technology. Normal questions aimed towards knowledge of that exact stuff. Manager most likely won’t seem too interested lol. It was still an easy interview though.
