Accepted Offer – Interviewed in West Bend, WI – Reviewed Apr 14, 2013
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
