I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at GameStop (Miami, FL) in Sep 2015
Interview
They asked very light questions, mostly about my life schedule and obligations, how much experience i have with games, consoles and the like. The only question that was overly specific is if I had any preference of console. Hiring process was seamless. They call you beforehand to get all your basic information to put on your hiring forms and once you go in for your training they make you fill out the personal stuff like entitlements and dependents and such. They immediately make you go into their "LevelUp" program to start your training.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How up to date are you on the gamer scene? New consoles, games, events.
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.
