giadrosich Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I've been taking a leave of absence from my telemarketing job (AT&T Uverse), and have been looking for a new job a while just to have something different. Landed an interview with TNT Games for repair technician, so I'm pretty stoked. They're willing to train on more advanced things too, so I'm hoping to really get this job. No one probably cares, but I had to just sort of be happy about this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armos Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Good luck on your job. I'm still looking for one my self. No luck with me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giadrosich Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 I know how you feel, it took me a year to land the telemarketing job. :/ I had 32 bucks left in the bank when I found it--that's panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnai Blackwind Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I know that feel, man. I've been unemployed since October of 2012, and recently I got call backs for two jobs. Got both interviews this Friday, I'm stoked! Good luck with yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giadrosich Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 On a random side note, I scrap a lot of things for parts and always have something laying around the house. Found this gem in a Gyromite copy I got off of ebay for 2 bucks: Famicom to NES converter. I can now play my pirate 84-in-1 games as well as my Minish Cap NES game. Oddly enough, I found the Power-Joy in a goodwill, which was stuck in an N64 controller which had a famicom system in it. http://www.thevintagegamers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/PJ2.png As for the converter (which is basically a 60-72 pin converter but Nintendo-made) you can usually find it if you look at the colour of ROB in the corner: Random-random side note: Josh's (my husband) brothers were complaining of a controller giving them shocks every now and then, and I went to pick it up and see what I could do to help them out. And then it turns out the controller is in this shape: Yeah, no honey, not fixing that, just get a new one. I don't understand how little kids can cause such terrible things to controllers. I was never that bad with my stuff. It looks like rats chewed on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vava Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 When I was younger we had a rabbit and sometimes he would chew the wires of the controllers. We lost a couple wires I think but we were even more afraid of him getting shocked. Good luck for your interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallos31 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I wish you the best of work on your interview! I'm looking for some sort of computer repair job myself. I do it for fun, so why not get paid (more then 20 bucks per repair) for having fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giadrosich Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Thanks for the good luck, guys! I think the interview went well, I had turned in a hand-written resume (don't own a printer) and I'm the only one they've ever considered who's turned in one hand-written. They were looking for someone with familiarity about how the systems are put together, but without experience fixing them. I fell right in the middle, and he said he felt good about me, but he's gonna get back to me. It would start out part-time and they're planning to open up a store specifically for fixing things, and I could have a chance to work up to full time.

vava Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Good to hear that. As long as he understands that you actually know how to use a printer, you are good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
