I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at GameStop (Ocean, NJ) in Oct 2013
Interview
I called and asked if they were hiring, they had me come in and fill out a paper application. I called the next day, and they scheduled me for an interview with the store manager that day. Two days later, I had a phone interview with the regional manager, and that Monday, I met with him in person, where he formally offered me a pitiful amount of money and lousy hours, and I accepted.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you failed at an objective.
Very simple and easy going. First was a group interview and then an official secondary interview at the store. Everything was communicated very well and all questions were relevant to experience needed.
I was asked several behavioural questions, to determine my suitability for working in a retail environment. The focus was on my ability to learn and understand the store rules, as well as be able to handle customer needs. Very little was asked about video games.
