Interview Details – They take you into the backroom and ask you a set of corporate predefined questions. Most questions will revolve around the idea that you're in high school, thus asking you what your favorite subject is and what you like to do outside of school.
Interview Question – Most of the questions want you to relate to GameStop taking reservations on games and what the GameStop PowerUp card. Mention both those in 3/4's of your response and you're almost guaranteed a second interview or a hire. View Answer

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Apr 2013 – Reviewed Apr 13, 2013
Interview Details – I went in to purchase a game one day and the manager gave me an application. I turned it in the next week, but since he transferred to a different store I was called in by the new manager. It was a group interview of 6 people, he did 3 at a time. He basically asked what we knew about Gamestop and the gaming industry. He also asked what would we do if we caught an employee stealing, and what were out favorite games. He had a paper with a list of questions he was going to ask.
Interview Question – All of the questions were pretty basic, but one I had trouble with was the one about up selling. View Answer
Negotiation Details – No negotiations

Interview Details – I just went in a filled out an application and kept calling. Thankfully, the manager remembered who I was and he called me in for an interview. The interview was laid back but serious (if that makes any sense). He asked questions that any other manager would ask. Other things that were asked was what type of games that I like and have played, plus what game systems I owned.
Interview Question – There really wasn't anything difficult about the whole process. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I wasn't able to negotiate anything. I was just glad I got the job.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Daytona Beach, FL Nov 2010 – Reviewed Jan 1, 2013
Interview Details – My interview was less an interview and more just getting to know my manager. He asked general questions about my experience, and then for the most part we just had a normal conversation. This will vary by manager, naturally -- working for GameStop is an experience by and large dictated by which manager you work for more than anything else. The key here is generally to go in for seasonal, get your foot in the door, and then make them certain they would be horribly sad to lose you. Now, this isn't a guarantee -- lately, districts all over the country are being told to cut hours and not all stores will be in a position to keep anyone, but if you're good (and I mean REALLY good) they will fight for you if they're a good manager.
Interview Question – They were all straightforward and not difficult to answer. View Answer
Negotiation Details – I was offered a slight increase on my rate of pay in my previous position and took it.
