Yep. Game Advisor. That's my title! I got my job.
I'll be working at the GameStop location close to home. With my very funny co-workers.

Of course the perks are great. 15% off games, 25% off used games, 30% off at Barnes & Noble, and I can "check out" any game I want for four days.

I just got some new shoes and work pants, so I'll be ready for my first shift this weekend. I got my job.

Thanks everyone! I got my job.
It's true that I'll be allowed to try out games, probably so I know what I'm selling. It makes sense.

I'm looking forward to serving fellow gamers, as well as helping out the "gift-givers" who might need some assistance. The parents and grandparents who have no idea which version of Pokemon their kid wants. I got my job.

I'm also very lucky to work for a great manager. We spent about an hour for the interview, and we were laughing most of the time about stuff only half-relevant to the job. xD

I always wanted to work there. There is one 5 minutes from my house and I know some of the people that work there. Whenever I go in there they are always just playing Guitar Hero, lol.
