Interviewed May 2010 in Clinton Township, MI (took 1 week)
Getting into GameStop if very difficult if you dont know someone. The best time to get hired is in October for Seasonal work. Usually if you are a regular customer you have an advantage. For an interview you will be called by the store manager and scheduled an interviewing time. The interviewer will ask you questions from a form provided by GameStop, and you will probably talk for a little while and have a popularity contest and depending on how well you do with that, you will be offered a job.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
You will not be able to negotiate an hourly position too much. For a Store Manager do not accept the first offer, it is embarrassing.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Gig Harbor, WA (took 2 weeks)
I had an initial face to face interview with the store manager, she wanted me to have two follow up phone interviews with other store managers. Her reasoning for this is great, it ensures that the candidate is truly a good fit for the position rather than hiring someone just based on need. The interviews are conducted with the stores best interest and overall a very pleasant experience.

Interviewed Oct 2008 in San Antonio, TX (took 2 days)
Unfortunately, specialized game knowledge is second to your ability as a salesperson. All they want is someone who knows the alphabet and can count and can have a customer leave without being angry. If you're lucky, you'll interview with a store manager who actually appreciates video games, and you'll spend the interview chatting about your old Famicom. Prepare to be blindsided, however, by idiot customers who own Wiis without knowing how to pronounce "Super Mario Brothers" correctly.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
There is no negotiation of anything. GameStop slams you with whatever tiny, miserable, laughable wage they want.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Oct 2007 (took 1 week)
I applied at GameStop right before the holiday season. I have previous experience in retail. I dressed well and brought a copy of my resume in with me. I asked if there were any positions available, particularly in management. Filled out application, returned next week. Interview was informal, (at the restaurant next door). Interview questions included game console experience, previous retail experience, why did you leave former employer, why do you want to work at gamestop, which game consoles do you own, etc...
