Yes it is true what they say patience is a virtue.
Having an application in for almost a year, today I became a Game associate for my favorite store.
You get great perks too!
Rent any game 3 days no matter what it is!
15% discount!
And a job I won't kill my coworkers at!
Horay!

cool, you should work at the non-busy parts of the day, so you can just sit around playing the pre-owned games.

Great

Now go take your new paycheck over to my for sale thread

Yeah but if the district manager comes while I'm playing I could get fired, soooo I will probably stay away from that for now...

Well, if the place is a ghost town, itd be murder to make you just sit there staring at the wall.

Nahhh I will be organizing the 64 games.
Sort of a neat freak when it comes to that but if we get a LoZ TP demo I'm all over it.

Awe. SOME! You lucky man. GS is a great store from what I hear (there are none in my town). But then anything is better than EB

My dream is to work at a local Game Exchange and repair their consoles that are non-working. But for that I need a car

*sigh*

I would love to get a job anywhere around where I live but unfortunatly unless you have experence noone will hire you. I'm willing to learn but as everyone knows, managers want people they can send out as soon as they hire them, not someone they have to spend a week training...

How old do you have to be to work at EB Games? I'd like to work at the Apple Store, but you have to be 18, and I can't stand waitingâ€¦

Ya I am going to take a drive over there tomorrow (ironically writing my resume up as we speak) and drop of my resume. I volunteered there so I know the manager (not really we met once but hey its better than nothing) and that will give me an edge. They offer training but itâ€™s a matter of timing. Though people will be quitting soon for school. Iâ€™m almost 17 but I never really wanted a job till a few weeks ago when my parents told me I needed to get off my butt.

EDIT: EB games in 16 where I live. One of my friends got a job there (very very lucky bugger).

I could get a real job (over the table), that pays like 7.50/hr. But its much more satisfactory to work for my dad (under the table) for 9-10.

Heh ya thats where I get most of my income, but jobs don't pop up all the time, I mostly just mow the lawn for $20 or dig a fence post for $10 an hour.

I would like a steady source of income, since my car insurence is so much --;

EB games is not that great of a job. I would have to check my soul at the door to work there. At least that's how every one I have been to is. Maybe not every store has the same retards putting super high prices on everything in sight, and don't know a thing about anything. (no offense to EB employees. I just really hate my EB store.)
