I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at GameStop in Oct 2014
Interview
I walked into the store and asked the guy at the register (who it turns out was the manager) if they were hiring, he said they were. He asked me if I wanted to fill out the application in store and have a short interview in store since it was slow. After I filled out the application he sat down with me behind the counter and told me that it was basically gonna be a conversation like friends have more than an actual interview. He asked me a few basic questions, then he had one of the guys who worked there go outside and walk in as if he were a customer, and had me show how I would introduce myself to them and about our promotions. Hired right after.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you wanna work here?
Do you know what games are coming out in the next few months?
What game systems do you have?
Whats your favorite game?
Whats your least favorite game?
Whats 10% of 100?
If a customer came in and was asking for reviews for a game you don't like?
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.
