BifEverchad 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2003 I just started a new job last night at a local music store, and its excellent, I can tell I'm going to really like it there. For the past few weeks, maybe even months I've been getting less and LESS shifts at my original place of work, which was at a Sobeys supermarket, in the Produce Dept. So, with Christmas coming up, I wanted to get another job so I could buy gifts and have some extra cash as well. So last week, I put in a resume at Music World in one of the malls around here. On Tuesday, I got a call and the manager asked if I could come over for an interview the next day. So I did, and it all went smooth, and on the spot she said I seemed cool, and I was hired. So last night was my first offical shift and worked 4-10. I always wanted to work in a place like that, because I love music and movies and electronics like that, so it was great. Everything went fine, and I caught on pretty fast. It's really easy going and all the staff are really cool. Basically, its a fun job, and I know I'm gonna like it there. For example, today we had a staff meeting to introduce myself, and another guy that got hired the day before. At the end of the meeting, we all got to sort through all the store's sample CDs (CDs the store uses in Listening Posts and for the Stereo in the store) and take all we wanted. I didn't want to be greedy, since I'm new, so I just took a humble bunch of 8 or 9. Apparently after every staff meeting (every month) they go through the CDs. That's awesome. Free CDs! Other than that, all staff get a 50% discount on all CDs and DVDs, not on sale. So that's another bonus. All in all, I think that I've found a job that is going to be fun, and I'm not going to hate going to for a change. After 5 and a half years of working with Fruits and Veggies, I'll gladly work with Music and Movies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BifEverchad 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2003 (edited) Worked again last night, and the job continues to kick arse. Tuesdays are great days to work, because thats the day new releases come out. Last night I had about 2 dozen jumpy, excited punky girls dying for the new Avril Lavigne CD/DVD. Also sold a shitload of the new P.O.D, Sarah Mclachlan, and Sheryl Crow CDs. Not to mention a bunch of hot chicks looking for the Legally Blonde 2 DVD that came out yesterday too. Man, this job rules. I'm entering Zach Malibu levels of job appreciation here!
