Damn EasyCure, I'm sorry man hang on there something will come through for you.

Ceric · « **Reply #26 on:** September 28, 2006, 11:34:17 AM »

Yep, Things will work out.

EasyCure · « **Reply #27 on:** September 30, 2006, 09:54:52 PM »

thanks guys. im not over it, but i am coping. i dont wanna brag but i have a "booty call" next weekend so that might help a lil

i havent updated the situation in a while, nothing new really. my audition at the NWS is on wed, which is my sisters birthday (in case that mattered) and im going to buy some new shoes and pants to dress to impress.

my question to you guys is: is it tacky to wear a nintendo tshirt?? i have so many. i have three different Zeldo hoodies too, the newest one is probably the coolest thing ever.

if i go in there with a pair of clacks on and a collard shirt, should i be wearing the zelda hoodie? it is cold out, so its not like im blatantly showing it off. if that isnt too much, would the NES controller belt buckle be too over the top? lol i dont wanna look like an idiot, but i want to show im enthused about the job ;-)

Oh geez no, don't wear anything Nintendo. Nice pants, nice shirt, tucked in, leather belt, shiny shoes - go all out, don't geek out.

I agree with Evan, keep it professional. Through conversation I'm sure they will understand just how much you love Nintendo.

vudu · « **Reply #30 on:** October 01, 2006, 06:55:16 AM »

I also agree with Evan. However, if you own a pair of Nintendo-themed underwear, you might want to wear them and then arrange for your pants to "accidentally" fall down sometime when you're there.

Ceric · « **Reply #31 on:** October 01, 2006, 11:07:07 AM »

lol. Ignore Vudu second sentence. Congrats. I go with the professional look. Actually I try to dress close to what they where at the Nintendo Store, I don't know what they wear. If they wear t-Shirts then I change that to a polo at the very least. Though I assume they wear nice shoes and pants.

If your thatworried about how your dressed just walk in the store butt nakedj/k. try to look professional and atleast wear a nintendo hat. and also your in luck if you hadn't preordered yet

A few weeks back we reported that the Nintendo World Store had stopped taking Wii reserves. They didn’t stop because of running out of units, they just wanted to hold off on taking more reserves until they had a better idea of how many they would receive. I found out that these reserves will start up again on Tuesday, October 3rd, and that the number of reservable units this time is “far above” what they took last time.

actually i already planned on doing exactly what Vudu's second sentence was about, before i even read it.
okay, not really. in fact the whole question about wearing a video game tshirt was a ruse. i didnt want this thread to get boring with nothing but "yeah yeah, good luck" comments.

in fact, i usually dress up in slacks and a collard shirt and a fashionable blazer. its just my style. the only times i do wear jeans in a tshirt is at my current job becuase i'd rather dress comfortably. sounds backwards huh? but thats how it is, i like to present myself. i started going to work well dressed but it gets so hot in that store to wear a tshirt and a long sleeved collard shirt over that while running around doing a million things for so many people. its just more comfortable to wear jeans/slacks and a tshirt at work now, but when i go out its back to what i like ; blazers and collard shirts.

they already explained the dress code to me during the first interview. same as most places; no visible tattoos, one peircing per ear (no facial pericings), no jeans. they wear black pants and blue polo shirts that say 'nintendo' on the.

i just bought a pair of new shoes yesterday for when i go on in wednesday and i will be wearing a nintendo tshirt (for good luck), they just wont see it because it'll be an under shirt.

and to stevey; its too cold to go in naked, it would be unflattering. the news about preorders is great too, because i havent preordered and i might as well put one down while im there. even if i have to work on launch day (assuming i get the job there) i know i have one reserved to pick up before i go home. sweeet

in case any of you are curious about what the nintendo world store is like and think you wont be able to pay it a visit, theres a feature on it on IGN Weekly.

Link

its episode 27 if you check it out. The first 12 minutes are all about Wii/nintendo, then the last segment is about some Squeenix game i dont care about. hope you enjoy it

EasyCure · « **Reply #35 on:** October 04, 2006, 06:48:40 AM »

New update:

just got back from the second interview, it went well. i was feeling a little nervous as i was walking up to the store but it all went away once i was inside.

the interview was a lot like my phone interview minus the questions about how many games i've beat to completion. i know i answered everything the way they wanted to hear; there were no pauses between my answers and the next question. thats a good sign, so any one of the younger PGCers out there - keep that in mind. you dont want to be asked a question and then have the interviewer look at you without saying anything expecting more of an answer.

i go back on monday for a third (!) interview, this time with the store manager. after that i finally get to know if im hired or not (after background screening and drug tests). the manager is actually the guy in the IGN weekly video Matt was talking to, in case anyone saw it. i met him today but only for a second.

oh and before i left i bought a kirby plush as a gift for someone, the women behind me on the line was buying a copy of brain age. she looked middle aged and didnt walk into the store with a kid. i'll probably post that in the "nintendo virus" thread too.

Ceric · « **Reply #36 on:** October 04, 2006, 07:30:31 AM »

EasyCure you got me a Kirby Plushie to go with my Stylus. How thoughtful.

Good job. Hopefully the store manager will like ya.

EasyCure · « **Reply #37 on:** October 04, 2006, 09:11:19 AM »

i hope so. if he seems like he doesnt i'll let him know Matt from ign condoned shoplifting from the NWstore and i wrote him hate mail ;-)

by the way if anyone cares about my relationship status: nothings changed but i have a "booty call" for this weekend with some other girl so things arent that bad right now

Smoke39 · « **Reply #38 on:** October 04, 2006, 10:02:02 AM »

I'm not hip with the lingo. Are you saying that this girl wants to use you for sex?

EasyCure · « **Reply #39 on:** October 04, 2006, 01:17:40 PM »

indubitably.

its actually a long story, she's been trying to use me ever since we met about a year ago and i've always jokingly told her that if my girlfriend and i break up, she'd be the first to know. well as it turns out, she heard about it thru the grapevine and the time has come.

im not sure if i'll actually do it or not but my macho side of me is happy just knowing the opportunity is there.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #40 on:** October 04, 2006, 09:41:51 PM »

Hahaha your funny EasyCure. Every time I check this thread I get worried like its me who's job is on the line. Im rooting for you man, I really hope you get this job! I keep imagining if it were me trying to get the job, and I get all super excited just thinking about it. Once again good luck dude.

EasyCure · « **Reply #41 on:** October 05, 2006, 04:31:22 AM »

thanks for the cool comments Caterkiller (and everyone else really).

i actually didnt expect this thread to be big or anything, like why would anyone else on here from all over the country as well as other countries care if i get this job or not? its good to know you guys are rooting for me though. it all goes back to pgc being such a good community and im glad to be a part of it.

i'll definately keep updating and let everyone know if i was hired or not. my only regret if i get the job is that i never bought a pgc shirt....

it would be cool if there was another shiggy/reggie event while im employed and flash the pgc shirt in a pic i take with them.

Now we have a moral Dilemma. Keep your dignity or keep you pride.
Also don't worry about the t-Shirt *this is where Svevan pops in about the Naruto contest* I'm sure the new site... Which Name Will Be Revealed Soon *hint hint* will have a shirt to flash.

Though I bet you are one of those people who don't wear a tie and let you buttons flash. Button Flasher!!!

EasyCure · « **Reply #43 on:** October 05, 2006, 08:33:31 PM »

you caught me, i am a button flasher

. i only wear ties at really formel events, other than that i like to show off my sexy buttons, never letting the top to meet as if they were forbidden.. its so...so... sensual.

moral dilemmas suck. luckily i havent talked to this girl in a few days, and the weekend is fast approaching. i doubt its gonna happen now.

Smoke39 · « **Reply #44 on:** October 05, 2006, 09:14:29 PM »

That's disapointing. Is she hot? O:

EasyCure · « **Reply #45 on:** October 05, 2006, 10:44:44 PM »

kinda. hot enough for it to be dissapointing i guess. oh and the last time i saw her she died her hair blonde, which made her look more attractive, it was a big plus.

There is more to a girl than her looks, her personality is much more important

.

EasyCure · « **Reply #47 on:** October 05, 2006, 11:12:30 PM »

only when looking for a relationship, which is something i would never even think about with this girl

this girl has wanted nothing more then a fling, even when we were both invoved. im newly single, she recently broke up with her long term boyfriend (and is seeing someone new actually) and she still wants that fling. not exactly someone i'd want to date...

i dont like her personality to tell you the truth. she talks too much about everything, especially some things you shouldnt tell someone the first day you meet them. she drinks/smokes (which is a turn off for me) and she curses much worse then any guy i know.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #48 on:** October 05, 2006, 11:28:48 PM »

Well Easy it looks like your mind is a better place than some when it comes to that stuff.

EasyCure · « **Reply #49 on:** October 06, 2006, 06:31:43 AM »

thank you? i couldnt tell if there was any sarcasm there, sorry
