If you really want the low down, send me a PM or shoot me an instant message. I was an EB DM for around 3 years and even stuck around for the devil corp merger that turned a good company into GameSlop.

Here are a few requirements/things to ponder while you consider taking on this fantastic job in the "gaming business." And, while you think I might be sounding sarcastic, consider for a moment that I dealt with hiring people ALL the TIME.

1. Go to the interview in nice dress pants and a nice dress shirt. DO NOT wear sandals or a t-shirt. Yes, people actually did that. Additionally, have a few ideas or questions about the job. Show that you have conversational skills. Your gaming knowledge means jack squat.

2. Do not go to work high. Even though part time workers aren't drug tested, the company will be more than happy to call the cops on you if you do. Yes, this happened regularly.

3. Smile, nod, smile, nod, sell Barbie Horse Adventures.

4. Be happy with minimum wage for your city/state and don't expect to get any types of significant raises due to your "hard work."

5. Be happy doing TOH (title on hand; aka GameSlop devil work) and meanial tasks that have nothing to do with video games---ALL DAY.

6. Be prepared to put any kind of opinions you have totally aside while you tow the corporate line. I had to make my district push "Ride or Die" down the throats of customers. I'm talking follow up phone calls that involved one-on-one conversations with part timers for not hitting goals. I'm going to stress again--YOUR OPINIONS DON'T MATTER.

7. Be prepared to lie about the quality of GameSlops "Great Used Gaming Systems" and the value of "Game Replacement Plans." Did I mention GameSlop removed all spiff/incentive plans that EB had in place?

8. Smile, nod, smile, nod, sell Barbie Horse Adventures.

9. Be prepared to start wanting to play LESS because you get sick of talking about shit you could care less about. "Hey man, when does Madden 2025 drop?" Oh, and by the way---you better LOVE taking reservations

I'll stop there. Like I said, if you're still interested, send me a PM. I'll be more than happy to answer any and all questions
