Seconded.  My campus has a lot of hot girls whenever I saw any of them smoke they went from hot to not.  Can't abide a smoker for numerouse reasons.

Speaking of booty call...

EasyCure, thank you, THANK YOU for this thread.

Nintendo, hire the guy. NOW... And get him some booty while you're at it.

im so close to getting this job, i can feel it!

so today was my third interview, this time with the store manager at NWS. i had some errands to run before i went down into the city and i was held up and thought i was going to be late...

i made it to the doors at 1:59 on the dot and walked in tucking my shirt in....

it was suprisingly hot today and i took off my shirt and jacket on the subway and put them back on as i neared the store.

anyway the place was packed, most likely to do the colombus day parade, and i had to wait five minutes for the manager. the interview was a lot like the last two, except there were a few more questions to judge my personality i guess. i think it went even better then last time becuase i was less nervous and in a much better mood.

the manager told me they would decide on who to hire by the end of the week, and let the people know so that the following week the people who do get hired can come in to fill out paperwork. if i get the job i'll start either the few days before  haloween, or definately on nov1. i cant wait...

i'll keep you guys posted

I don't know being tired doesn't sound fun to me and when I say tired I mean in the since of stoning with wheels, I'm like Wandering :P .

I was thinking about that before the Mii thread came up.  Would I just walk in and ask if EasyCure was working?  Now I have a rudimentary idea of what you look like.

Good news good news.  Hopefully things will workout.

Still no word EasyCure? If they don't bring you on I find it very unprofessional that they have strung you along for such a long time. I hope you get it man, sucks when you get really close to a job you really want and then get shut down at the last step.

No word yet but its early...

i actually just sent the store manager an email before i head off to my current job, so maybe i'll hear back later today.
i've tried calling but the few chances i get the number is busy... blah.

i'll definately keep everyone posted, and if you didnt wish me luck before now would be the time!

ps. just about one month left till we get our hands on Wii. figure i'd end this post on a high note

Good luck man, and remember the hiring process is usually a long one nowadays.  A lot of employers are doing extensive checks on ppl before hiring.  Nobody wants to let a petiphile slip thru the cracks......I'm looking at u Republicans!

After my store closed down (company bankruptcy, then bought out by FYE) I initially looked for a job at Bank of America before settling down with the idea of finishing off school with 100% effort insead of a 50-50 split with a job.  The Bank of America had me come in twice for a one on one interview that lasted about 30min each over a week, then a week later a 15 person group interview.  

Personally I think i nailed every question in the interview but one, the question was why do u want to work here and everyone besides me was able to say "I have a business degree or I'm currently in school for a business degree and look to use it here"  The group interview wasted like 4-5 hours of my day.......agh! I could've been playing Pikmin.

Hmm that was all negative.....well here is a more uplifting story:

My Career Development class required us to have a Mock Interview with someone in our Industry to pass the class.  I was really nervous about it because im one of those ppl that gets butterflies, loss of breath, voice changin, trembling, akward fidgyness, and whatever else you can think of i've experienced probably.

Anyways in the interview i was actually interviewed by three guys "more like interegated" but in the end they told me that i was by far one of their best at answering questions, asking questions, and overall best interviewee.

Some of the questions were pretty tough, they asked me "what would u do if u were working hard developing on the game project and u noticed someone has been slacking off surfing the net?"  They apparently really liked my answer, "I would ask him to pack up and prepare what he would have to expalin to his family".................kidding, lol.  I said "I'd go and ask him for help on a problem whether there really was one and then tell him that he just saved me a big headache and if he needed help I'd be more than willing (This way it would get his head jogging without yelling at him and making him feel bad).

Hope me luck somewhere down the line when i do get a real interview i don't land on my face.

i got an email back from the NWS manager, very promptly i might add.

maybe it he was being nice in responding to it right away, but maybe it was a sign.. that there is still hope.

all it basically said was that they were conducting a few more interviews and that human resources would get back to me soon and apologized for the wait (since i was originally told they would have a decision by the weekend)

I feel for you EasyCure, I recently had interviews with IBM and Intel and neither of them have called me again about setting up anything further. Human Resources must be the crappiest department of every single company in this damn world.

i think i agree with you Mr. Jack. at first i woul of said otherwise becuase i got a call from their human resources about a day or two after i sent in my application. its the reason why i was feeling so hopeful since i got such a quick response.

three interviews later and a week or two after i was told i would be informed whether or not i got the job and i havent recieved a phone call or email from anyone at the store or their human resources dept. if they really wanted the new hires to start by nov 1 then its just too late for me to have gotten the job so i'm going to give up the hope. the manager himself told me i would know the week before so they could send in all paperwork and pass drug and background tests. nov 1 is 6 days away; i didnt get the job.

i had put in my two weeks at my current job last week but...

i kind of got the store manager fired and the district manager asked if i would stay on. i agreed to because i owe it to the rest of my staff. if i didnt get the store manager fired i would of left, even without getting the job at nintendo (a friends boyfriend can garantee a job at a GameStop but...eh.. its gamestop. i know a manager at a Target too...) but now that he's gone, i wouldnt want to leave the rest of the staff with the holiday rush just around the corner. they would of been fine without me but with two managers gone... ouch.

im stuck there until after new years, when business gets slow and i now that leaving wont affect the store and they could have people lined up to replace me. the staff that works under me is happy im staying, so it makes me feel better about the whole situation, but i've made it very clear that i wont be there in 2007.

if nintendo does give me a last minute call for the job, i'll take it and i'll work both jobs if i have to. dont ask how i'll manage, but i'll do it. i cant miss a chance to work for nintendo... but i doubt thats going to happen now. if not i'll apply the next time there is an opening and try even harder.
