Just because you play a lot of games doesn’t qualify you as a good employee, it takes drive, motivation and charisma. Also I’m assuming this job pays minimum wage like every other part-time job would. Anyways, your stores great, I would suggest having employees be more open to helping customers with reviews on games, and their opinions. Not really a question but a response 🙂

Working at EB Games would be a good job for me to have! I play video games a lot so I know a lot about gaming systems, games, and more.
Michael says:
You need to know quite abit about every console as customers you will serve will not just be buying games for one particular console so a little knowlodge about the main consoles is a must. (Mainly PC, Ps3, Xbox and Wii).
