First Dianostic Essay



The Perfect Job

Growing up being into different types of video games, at the age of sixteen I had the opportunity to work at the best game store and also the best job I’ve ever had “GameStop”. With looking for my first job, I just didn’t want a lame and non excited job. I wanted a job that I am willing to go to if I wasn’t even getting paid. So I started looking around to find my first job and I couldn’t find a job that best fits me. One day I put in an application for GameStop which I thought would be a great first job and it was something I do every day on my free time, which is play video games. The manager from GameStop called me and told me I had a job. That day I knew this job could get no better. As I started to work at game stop it was kind of ruff learning the new system but I got tuned with it really quick. Once I got settle with the job I found out that to work at GameStop you half to be a friendly and a people person. What I mean by that is having no problem dealing with kids and angry mothers because ninety-five percent of the time being good to your customers is how you get your sells and if you don’t have any sell’s no money. Just being around games and helping people make the right choices on what games to choose from came very easy to me. What I enjoy where the kids seeing their faces light up every time their parents buy’s him or her a new game they’ve wanted for a long time and finally get it. That’s what really sparks me from that job because you get to really connect with the gamers and the kids and get their stand point from games also your knowledge from your experiences with games so you can share them together. I spent exactly two years enjoying the working environment at GameStop before I left to go to college. Through those two years I learned a lot and the stuff I learned from there, I felt like it will help me with life in general. Another thing I would like say about that job is that it helped me a lot with my job’s after that. That’s another reason why I considered GameStop to be my best job ever had.
