Do you work at Blockbuster: Retail? How did you find the job? How did you get that first interview?

Any advice for someone trying to get in?

go to blockbuster.com or go to one of the stores there is a telephone that some how you pickup and answer the questions.or you can apply online and a few days later call and ask for the hiring manager,tell them that you filled an app out.

Can U Say Arrogant? in Washington, District of Columbia

These guys are a joke. If you take notes at the wrong time during the interview or say a word that they dont particularly like youre out of the running!!!!! I'm speaking of the Regional Sales Director and the Reg. Human Res. Manager.
I've been in retail 26 years and a DM for 12. As a matter of fact they were even lucky I was taking the time to interview with them! Just a couple of clowns that thought they were important......
They DO NOT care about thier people it is as simple as that.

I worked for Blockbuster, at times it was a great job. But in the end the company felt like it was pushing money ahead of customers 100%. Know that they will want you to sell, sell, sell! Rewards, Online Memberships, etc... In my district a person is hardly ever recognized or patted on the back for a job well done, even if you do sell. No commission is involved and the motto seems to be "do it because its your job or get fired". Its nice to know you do your job well, and sadly it will go unnoticed. If you like selling for 7$ an hour, never getting praised, and looked as a figure that should sell (2 years and my small area manager never remembered my name even though I was its top seller), and fired me for bringing a movie back late :P. Yea I would not work there if you have other options.

It seems no one is actually answering the question that keeps being asked. How can a Blockbuster application be found on-line? I'm confused, I've looked under "Blockbuster", Jobs, etc... I'm having a hard time finding where it is actually on here that u actually apply! Please Help. Hoover, Al
