DALLAS Blockbuster announced its plans to hire approximately 4,000 seasonal employees to staff its Blockbuster stores nationwide this holiday season.

According to Craig Mabrey, director of recruiting for Blockbuster, what differentiates Blockbuster from its retail and industry competition is the focus on hiring and training associates who love movies and games and can give knowledgeable recommendations based on specific needs and interests. "We know the holiday season is our busiest and we plan to hire thousands of new employees in preparation for another busy shopping season in our stores."
