SGA

May 2019 • Piqua, OH

What I liked

Mainly, what I really liked about this job was it made me interact on a whole new level with each and every person who walked through the door. It made me more confident in my ability to interact with the average person. Whereas, previously interactions made me almost nervous and to be feel judged. At this job, it really brought me out of my comfort zone and made me make many connections I wouldn’t have done previously. It even made me feel more confident for college and being able to have those interactions like I did at Gamestop.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have just been myself right of the bat. Not being so nervous, and shy. Once I grew out of that shell it was so much fun and gave me a new perspective.

Advice

Not everything in the world is out to get you like many people my age think. It’s about stepping outside of what feels “weird” or “awkward” and just establishing who you truly are as a person. It definitely more fun to not care what other people think so much and judgment they may have. It’s about the next step, not how people view you now at this moment.

Sales Associate

October 2017 • Lincoln, NE

What I liked

It's a lot of fun to get to spend my time talking to people about something I really enjoy. I get to talk about video games, anime, and other nerdy things and get paid for it. Not a ton of money, but very fun.

What I wish was different

I wish that upper management was a bit more transparent with the low level workers, but other than that I loved my job.

Advice

If you work somewhere that is fun and is in a field you enjoy, work goes by a lot faster, is more rewarding, and makes you want to put more effort in.

Guest Associate

August 2018 • San Marcos, CA

What I liked

Helping guest with items I am experienced with and best fitting their needs.

What I wish was different

The pressure to oversell was great, with hours being cut for the store if we didn't.

Advice

This is a sales job, not a gaming job. We sell games, so you have to be good with games and people to survive at this job.

Customer Service

October 2017 • Fargo, ND

What I liked

Flexible Schedule, understanding management, and fun co-workers.

What I wish was different

I wish I had found an internship or something else that helped me develop more desirable skills.

Advice

Don't stress too much about your job if you're in customer service. Just do what you can and don't take it personally when the inevitable rude customer decides to take out their anger on you.
