Nah seriously I got so lucky lol. I've been playing for... nearly 11 years now? And always being going to that shop regularly, so the staff there already know me fairly well and get that, at the time of applying, I was just a 16 year old with no money looking for a job between school hours. It's a pretty big shop but not some huge chain or anything so it was easy for them to be relaxed about when I come and go I guess, haha.

All the employees at the Gamestop up the street know me well, but every time I applied they never hired me. Figured they would have hired me since I wasn't just some stranger looking for a job, rather a regular customer. Also, that's cool you've been playing guitar that long. :O |
Never work at a GameStop. I've lived and learned from game developers and spoke to many people that worked at GS, and both groups agree that working at a game store can be awful.
Anyway, I understand why people would interview you. I wouldn't interview you so much for an answer as much as to analyze you clearly and decide who's a better worker. Because resumes lie. A lot. |

I could take up a job...but that would screw up my study habits even more. :(
*Sigh* |
I think the same could be said about my study habits. Though not having a job also screws up my study habits.
Either way, my study habits are suffering. :| But yeah, jobs are exhausting. Back when I worked at a pharmacy it would exhaust and depress the hell out of me, despite being a fun job where I got to meet loads of people. Once you get out it feels like there's not enough time left to do the things you need/want to do and relax at the same time. |
The only jobs I ever held were through the university... if you don't like being awoken at any and all hours of the night and/or dealing with rampant stupidity and drunkenness, do NOT become a Resident Assistant. Such things are all part of the job description, and oh the stories I could tell if they wouldn't get me infracted.
Yes, those crazy freshman guys do some pretty sketchy things, and my fellow RAs and I always had to clean up the mess. Current job situation: Lots of job rejections, only one interview since the new year and that ended up being a sales/commission job I ended up not wanting anyway. |
Resident Assistant sounds awful.
I don't understand why some people go to college and just completely devolve from human into ape. I get the whole "freedom" thing, but does that mean you need to.... well... stuff all over the place? Personally I hate hearing crazy college stories. It makes me worry about whether or not my ex-girlfriend is OK. I'm sure she's sick of me checking in on her. x[ Oh hey alright I slept in and missed my doctors appointment. That's neat. |
My job told me today that if I kept working over the summer on making a mobile app for them that they'd still pay me. :))) That's nice! Plus I have a few options that I'm working on as a real summer job, and my boyfriend is going to visit me at home right after school ends, life is goooooood.
|
I'm still trying to find a job. Maybe I'd have better success working during the summer when I'd be free the entire week.
I've had no success trying to find a job when I can only work a possible 4 days a week. |
IT GOT COLD AGAIN WHY GOD WHY
|
No, Live. Do not direct the DCC back into weather talk. Bad Live.
|
I'm hopefully gonna work at the same place one of my good friend works at, haven't seen her in a while too so that would be really cool.
And yes it's gonna get colder again here too, next week ;; ok adding something else here to DERAIL WEATHER so uhh it's a toystore so it oughta be fun!?!? |

Every time you post something weather related, it's usually what the weather's like here. As for a summer job, i'm taking care of yards. GETTIN BUFF, GETTIN TAN. Jersey shore maaaaan. Everything I just said was a mistake. |
IT'S COLD HERE TOO. It was like high 20s last week and today it was -5. ;___;[/could not resist commenting on weather]
I would love to work at a toy shop for discounts but I don't think I could deal with the inevitable children who'd be in there all the time. xD; |
I'd love to work in a toy store... for like a day. After that it'll probably become like any other retail job.
|
Hahah I did some work experience there once and it was neat to get all the stuff that couldn't be sold anymore or to be able to reserve things, and there's a game section too and would sometimes get discounts on that etc, but yeah it's true that in the end it's not very different from any other retail job. But the environment probably does make it more enjoyable, though that's just personal preference I guess. And I didn't really mind the kids actually! It was fun to be able to help them and see them walk out happy with something haha.
|
Well, I don't actually like kids so I imagine that has something to do with it. xD;

Imma smack you toujours. >:D I'm in Ohio, Cello |
Oh okay hahah well yeah I like kids up til a certain age probably lol. And babies are v cute so.
And I want to go to Cali real bad >:C |
Quote:
I want to move there so bad when I graduate. Seeing as i'm currently on the east coast, it sucks because I wouldn't be able to see my family without travelling a great distance if I were to move all the way to the west coast. But whatever man, awesome beaches > Family. Kidding, of course... but the sad thing is i'm almost not kidding. |
I did some work experience at Toys R' Us a good number of years back. It was OK but pretty boring. Stacking shelves, lifting boxes in the warehouse and other such tasks.
I am on and off with kids. It depends really. I sometimes teach the younger kids at the dojo I train at and they are fine. They listen to me and try their best to follow my instructions. But then you have troublemakers who I would like to squeeze the life out of. |

I mainly like Napa for the nature/weather there and the abundance of wine. I'm a country guy, so that's probably why Napa appeals to me so much. :P
