Interviewed May 2008 (took 1 week)
The manager of the store that you applied to contacts you and sets up a 1:1 interview. You are then asked several standard questions. Such as tell me a time when you solved a problem & tell me about the hardest person that you have ever had to work with. The interview is very standard and the interviewer reads it straight from a sheet.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Lake Saint Louis, MO (took 3 days)
The interview process was pretty much what you would expect. Questions about your goals, aspirations, background, education. Although, the job seemed very interesting I decided I wanted to do more with my aero space degree. I liked the idea of going to work and meeting new people, working the cash register, stocking movies on the shelf but my parents said I need to get a good job to pay off my student loans.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took 1 week)
I rented movies regularly and was asked to apply. I was a college student and the good thing is they work well with your schedule. unfortunately they do not pay well finding someone to cover your shift is hard. you will only get about 20 hours a week at minimum wage. so my advice is do not apply

Interviewed May 2008 in San Diego, CA (took a day)
I handed in a written application and about a week later I was called by the store manager to see if I could come in for an interview in 15 minutes (I don't think he realized what time it was). The interview was one on one and he asked me what work experience I had. How was I at doing up sales? how familiar was I with movies, did I consider myself a movie goer or gamer? If I had any questions about the job?

Negotiation Details
Pretty straight forward, he offered me the job and said he would pay $9.25 an hour starting out. I really did not try and negotiate a better hourly rate.

Interviewed Nov 2008 in Troy, NY (took 2 weeks)
Interview consisted mainly of the general questions concerning a promotion within a company. Most of it was based on previous experience as the assistant store manager and when I filled in as the temporary store manager. Ultimately declined the offer as I was in school and the pay was not as good as expected.
