Interviewed Jul 2010 in Fairbanks, AK (took 3 weeks)
I was interviewed over the phone with the dm, then over the phone with another sm. I met the sm and interviewed 1:1/ Another phone interview with the dm followed by a f2f with him. I then interviewed with a dm from another district and then the dm called with an offer and another f2f. It was nerve wrecking.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Oxford, AL (took a day)
The interview is conducted by the Store Manager. He will ask basic questions about video games such as: What video games to do you play?, Do you keep up with current releases?, Do you know what FPS, RTS, MMO, RPS, etc stands for?, What systems are you familiar with?, ect. Most people go into a Gamestop interview expecting to talk only about how awesome videos games are and what skulls you have on Halo. Do not do this. Definately show an enthusiasium for video games and the industry as a whole, but concentrate on customer service and sales goals. This is a retail job and what the manager wants to hear is that you can communicate with customers and sale the product. Very little of your time will actually be spent answering questions about specific games. Most people just want to know if you have played the game and would you recommend it. Be prepared to answer technical questions about various systems. Customers call on a frequent basis needing help with initial setup and basic troubleshooting. Being familiar with the systems you sell is much more important than playing every single game. All you really need to know about a game is what category it falls in to (sports, adventure, military shooter, etc). More in depth knowledge can come later. Gamestop employees are typically very laid back, but you will be expected to make sales goals and keep the store organized. Slacking is not tolerated at all. This can be a fun job that has many career advancement opportunites if you are willing to put in the effort.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 2 weeks)
You have to pick up an application form and then turn it in. They will then call you to schedule a first interview. After you do your first interview with the main store manager, you have to do another interview with another store manager. The process is relatively simple; just answer the questions.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Columbia, TN (took 3 weeks)
We started out the interview with the manager. He was a nice man and very relaxed. We sat down at a very informal location and began. This interview was about my skills. He asked question like "What do you know about a Xbox 360" and "What do you know about certain games" This interview was very laid back. He asked about my goals in life and in the company. What goals have I achieved so far. What are some goals I did not achieve. The second interview was with the Assistant Manager. This interview was also very laid back and had more interest in the selling point of view. He wanted to know some selling techniques and more about my personality. He asked such questions as "What is something you can add on to a Sale" and "What would you show a Customer if they came in looking for games for a 6 year old." This interview was a lot harder and needed to be thought out a little longer than the one before it. As for working for the company, its not as laid back. Everything is in a big rush. Things are usually put off until the last minute and it puts a lot of stress on the employees and the work environment. The people in this company are very nice and do a great job of training, although don't spend enough time doing so. The job itself is very stressful and very competitive. Seeing as this company gives so many chances to move up, the competition is through the roof.
