WASTED MY TIME FOR MONTHS AND GOT REJECTED LAST MINUTE WITH NO EXPLANATION. I applied a long time ago until I got an employee referral and tried again. At first, the store manager was very nice to me and we got along well. I did my first interview and did very well on that. After 2 months with no calls, I get a second call to do another interview with the new ASL. I go to the second interview and they told me they would call me by the end of the week. At this point, I was tired of waiting for them to give me an answer because I waited so long with no updates. By the end of the week, I received a phone call telling me I didn't get the job. No explanation. If they knew I was not going to get the job, why call me in for a second interview, waste my time, and then make me wait another week just to give me a rejection call? A friend of mine showed up at the store and saw that an elderly woman was getting trained, looking as if she had no idea what she was doing. Not only was I was qualified for the job, I got a second interview, and was about to get hired until the ASL came in I get rejected not even a week later with no explanation. I don't think this was a coincidence. Then they hire an elderly woman who not only looked confused, but probably cannot keep up with the constant updates of new games, consoles, etc. I'm very disappointed with the way I was treated and how I wasted over 4 months of my time trying to get a job at this place only to get mysteriously rejected in the end by some new ASL who has not even been there for a week. This is beyond ridiculous and I am never applying here again.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you think you can contribute to the store and to the rest of the team?
Straightforward. Come in for interview. They will give you a call with an offer. If you have general knowledge of games, you will be fine. If you have knowledge on game accessories, that is plus.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at GameStop
Interview
Was very straight forward. Filled out an application, told an employee (whom I interacted with frequently when purchasing products), and was called to schedule a single interview. After the interview I got the job and started within a week or two. Wanted to make sure I understood the MSRB and knew not to advertise or sell M rated games to minors.
