GAME

I recently went for a job at GAME, a new video game store opening in Albury. Much the same as EB Games. Had my interview just recently on Friday and today whilst playing my Playstation 3 I had a phone call from the guy who gave the interview. I wasn't too confident in the interview that I had, afterwoods I felt that I should have came across a bit stronger in my knowledge of games and what not. But alas I didn't, I wanted to demonstrate more on customer service and knowledge on business structure, I was going for the manager position. So I got the bad news phone call, I didn't take it to heart that much, I knew it was a yay or nay and I have plenty of things that I am doing right now as it is. I asked the guy, what reasons? how could I improve for another interview? what did the other applicants have the I did not show? The most prominant, he thought, was that my experience in retail (5 years full time retailing in selling a musical intrument product, not someone just standing behind a counter) and my knowledge of games (monthly magazine subscription to the two most prominant game magazines in Australia, subsciption to IGN, on IGN pretty much daily, own all systems dating back to the INTELLIVISION (bout 1986)) So I was a little dissapointed to hear of this, these were his reasons, who has the better skills than I? Well we will see in due time, for GAME opens on 8th March. Oh and apparantly if there were 4 casual positions, not 3, I would have another job. Another casual job.
