Hello again. It's been a while.
I'm listing places in my town where I could get job applications, and there's one in particular that I keep thinking about. It's a video game store very close to home, and I've bee going back and forth about whether or not to apply there. I wouldn't mind having a job there, but my question is, do you have to know a lot about video games to work there?
I began to think more seriously about it because my brother plays video games more than I do, and I was trying to convince him to get a job there since he'd be really helpful. He told me that the associates have to go around asking people if they need help with anything, and help them buy certain things. I told him that it really wasn't a big deal, and that you learn to respond to what the customer is saying and help them find what they need. If I could do it and get over being shy, then he could do it. Later on I thought about that and figured, well, I'm already doing that now at my current job, why not give this one a shot?
I do play video games, but I'm no expert with that stuff. If I don't know something, I will find a coworker who does, and then I look up information about it when I get home so that I'm more prepared if it comes up again in the future. Do you think that this kind of thing is good enough, or do they expect you to know a lot before even starting?
