Getting Employed

Postby Just Silver » Jun 27th, '10, 01:39

See I need some help.
I haven't had a job before and i am now determined to get a part time job at GameStop

I was hoping for anyone that has been recently hired to give me some advice on the whole process

I go to Gamestop A LOT and have asked about jobs there. You're basically just on call, so you don't have a set schedule, meaning you can't really estimate how much you're gonna get paid. A lot of my buds at Gamestop will be working at my local store one day, then another store across town that I'll happen to stop at. Basically, you have to TRULY TRULY TRULY love video games to put up with that type of bullshit.

Well i do love video games more than I love plastic bags

Dont set your sights on a particular store, the chances of your prefferred work picking you are practically zero. pester EVERYONE and every store til you get an interview

Umm no it's not spam...

I'm saying I just got an entry level job.. as in i have no experience.... where you work in a warehouse and just wind up wire... you make 32 bucks an hour starting.. It's a union job and thats what that position pays everywhere.

I'm not spamming you i'm just helping you out.

honestly, i find it difficult to work at gamestop. i don't know why but they never ever call me back. it's like they're stuck up or some shit.

but basically for any place you apply to, put in your application then call them a week later and say you're checking on the status of your application. and they'll tell you either they're still looking through them, found someone else, or you get lucky and they were gonna call you eventually anyway and you get somewhere.
