You'll be just like this girl, except in a video game store (warning, some swear words are in the article if your ears are sensitive):

It's a girl working at a video game store. You will develop either proper self esteem for once, or develop it and let it get to your head so much that you'll even be conceited! Okay no, you'll always remember it's just a bunch of gamer geeks.

But man, the flirting. Watch out they have movie coupons!

or develop it and let it get to your head so much that you'll even be conceited!

I vote for this option. See how many boys' self-esteem and dreams you can crush. Be creative!

I love you PG. xD It'll patch up the gaping hole in my self-esteem that I got from all mean old ladies in TJ Maxx asking if I was pregnant.

I think my fave tactic here would be for her to act super interested in some game or another, get them talking about it, wait until they brag about some achievement, and then laugh in their face and say "Hah! My boyfriend did that in half the time, nub!" at which point I burst in and start yelling at them like Jack Bauer.

Then I slap them across the face with my Barbed Hell Penis.

I've been discharged recently, so I'm looking for a serious job... my problem is that while I'm fairly talented and also have a lot of experience, I am not all too knowledgeable in certain areas, especially various computer science $hit... and I'm not too mathematically-aligned, either.

Still, being fairly confident, I tend to ace most interviews.. which gets me into jobs I have zero clue on how to perform. O_O Then, on my first day, I'm like DURRR, 'cause I don't know $hit!

Plus, all the nice, fun jobs don't pay much, and the boring, strenuous jobs (like Q&A, for example) pay a LOT more. I'm not in dire need of money, but hey, why should I do something, when I can get paid twice or thrice as much, doing something else? Dilemma. :-\

I have been interviewing at various companies for about two months now. I was hired last week after an extensive interview spanning over the phone and in person after a single day. I find that my interviews are starting to last longer and longer and that I have more technical things to discuss in an interview than simply telling them about myself based on my character traits.

I applied to Gamestop a few days ago, and I got a call back already. I'm surprised because I filled out the application with half-assed effort. I think it's because I have retarded amounts of experience, considering the fact that I've done everything in the store besides managerial tasks. I have a job interview this Wednesday. I'm nervous excited.

I think that means that you got it. You should spend part of the interview asking specific questions about the job itself — kind of like you are a consultant coming in from the outside wanting to know how you can help, right?

Good Luck Rye <3 I recently had a job interview last month on Feb 15th and I got hired on the spot <3 I love my new job but working at a Gamestop would be my Heaven XDD I work as a house keeper right now and I am enjoying it exp my feet are killing me XD

[Rye]

Thanks for all the good luck wishes!

I went in for my interview. I think it went pretty well. My hours were perfect for them, and when he asked me hypothetical situation questions about dealing with customers, he said I did well and kept in mind that the customer is always right, etc. I had good experience because I've worked nearly a year in retail and did quite a lot there. And he said I had a fair knowledge of games, have used nearly all of the systems, etc, which was good. I kind of think the gaming knowledge was my weakest link, because I'm not as hardcore of a gamer as a lot of the workers there, but apparently I answered those questions well enough. He said he'd call me in a few days, and that he has a few more interviews to go through. He also said he'd call my manager from TJ Maxx as well, which is kind of ugh ugh ugh, but I didn't show it and was cool about it.

I'm kind of optimistic because I don't think they'd bother calling my place of work if I wasn't worth hiring. I just wish I thought to like, quickly look up a ton of 360 games so that I was just a little more confident and knowledgeable with that. Be honest, e-pals, does it seem like I have a good chance of being hired?

A cute girl working at a video game store is worth her weight in gold.

I'm sure you do. You can learn any gaming knowledge that will help your customers, but you can't learn being a girl (unless you get an expensive surgery).

[Madame Adequate]

Sounds like a pretty good chance, yah! I think what Nec said is true, though. Pretty girl in game store = surefire hit. xD Well done not letting on about the manager thing, I hear they hate it when you bitch about past employers. And it's EXACTLY the sort of thing I would do with aplomb. xD I think your chances are strong

[Rye]

Thank you! I'm really hoping I'm getting hired, I'm desperate for a job, and I think Gamestop would be great for me! ;;

[Tallulah]

Glad it went well, Rye. When do you find out?
